Therapeutic Approaches and Benefits of Online Work
Deborah often uses client-centered therapy, focusing on listening and building a supportive relationship so clients can explore their values and goals at their own pace. This approach helps with emotional processing, relationship concerns, and finding direction during life transitions. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills to change patterns of anxiety, depression, or problematic behaviors. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to support clients who are ambivalent about change, particularly around addictions and health-related behaviors, by strengthening personal motivation and commitment to goals.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Deborah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting strategies as progress is made. Clients can expect a partnership where techniques are chosen to support their individual path.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility concerns. Deborah provides sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapeutic support from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
