Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Deborah (Debbie) Dobbins



Deborah commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can explore values and self-understanding at their own pace - it is helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and improving relationships. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive patterns.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Deborah works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time to find the most effective path forward.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
