Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Over 30 years she has helped people facing trauma, addiction, depression, and anger. She also supports those dealing with parenting stress, caregiving burden, blended family issues, and career challenges.
Her work includes attention to attachment concerns, obsessive or compulsive patterns, panic, and personality-related struggles. Sessions are collaborative and concrete. Deborah helps clients set short-term goals, try new coping skills, and review what works.
She aims to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming. People can expect a calm, patient approach that balances practical tools with emotional support. The focus is on building skills for daily life and handling setbacks with more ease.
Therapy approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist creates space for people to set their own goals and move at a comfortable pace, which is useful for those who feel overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical ways to change them. It often helps with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and coping with difficult life events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend or combine methods that seem most helpful. That choice is made together and can change over time as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers several practical options: video sessions for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn’t possible, live chat for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, have shorter check-ins when needed, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
