Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Deborah draws on several established approaches to tailor online treatment to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure connections and repair relational wounds. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to foster insight and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Deborah will work with each client to explore which methods fit best with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.
