Approaches for Online Therapy and How They Help



Debra Wyatt uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person’s priorities guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and active listening and is useful for improving self-esteem, processing life changes, and strengthening motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another method she employs to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT can be practical for managing anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Trauma-focused therapy is used when past traumatic experiences are central to a person’s distress. This approach concentrates on processing trauma-related memories and building coping skills to reduce the ways trauma affects current life and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. Debra works with each person to choose or blend methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to access licensed professionals from locations that work for them and fit therapy into busy schedules.
