Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Debbie McCown-Perkins draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as part of her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own capacity for growth - it often helps clients work through relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and decisions about life direction.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and coping with everyday challenges. Debbie approaches treatment collaboratively and will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions with Debbie are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or work and to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional periods, while still working with a licensed professional who tailors therapy to the individual.
