How Debra’s Approaches Work Online
Debra uses Client-Centered Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as core parts of her work. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening closely and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking small steps toward them while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for practical problem-solving. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. These approaches are useful for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and anger management.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Debra will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and preferences. Clients and the therapist adjust methods over time based on what helps most.
