Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Deborah uses Client-Centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the clientâs priorities guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and is helpful for building self-esteem, clarifying values, and improving relationship dynamics.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. CBT can be effective for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management.

Deborah incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT when clients need tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can support people struggling with impulsivity, strong mood shifts, or intense relational conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Deborah works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may occur by video call or phone, and additional support can come through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care during transitions or scheduling challenges, while working with licensed professionals who tailor treatment to individual concerns.
