Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Deborah draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to guide her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, sleep and stress-related concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead to foster insight, self-acceptance, and personal growth.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Deborah collaborates with each person to determine what fits best. She listens to clients’ goals and preferences, adjusts techniques over time, and works together with them to set realistic objectives and measure progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and Deborah also offers live chat and text-based messaging to support ongoing work between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain momentum, access support from home, and coordinate care around daily life while working with licensed professionals.
