Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person's needs. Deborah listens first, then works with the person to create an individualized plan. That plan may include short-term goals, coping strategies, or steps to improve daily routines and relationships.
She is licensed as an LPC in Michigan and also holds LPC credentials in Alaska. Those credentials guide her clinical practice and professional standards. Deborah aims to make starting therapy simple.
She acknowledges that taking the first step can be hard and focuses on building trust and practical progress. Conversations are direct and respectful, with attention to real-life challenges and solutions.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Deborah uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and symptom relief. One approach emphasizes teaching coping skills and step-by-step strategies to manage anxiety, panic attacks, and overwhelming stress; this helps people spot triggers and practice new responses. Another approach centers on addressing behaviors related to addictions and depressive patterns by breaking problems into manageable steps and building healthier routines and choices.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns, try different strategies when needed, and adapt the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist work together to pick methods that feel useful and realistic for daily life.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions let you have a face-to-face conversation from elsewhere. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can support quick check-ins, short reflections between sessions, or ongoing tracking of progress. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into work, family, or other routines.
