Therapeutic approaches and remote care
Debbie integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR to address a range of concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their values and strengths as they work toward personal goals; it is useful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life changes. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective coping strategies - it is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that uses guided processing to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms, making it a useful option for clients working through post-traumatic stress and abuse recovery.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Debbie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so treatment stays practical and responsive.
Online therapy modalities - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across different formats, making it easier to maintain momentum in treatment and access services from home or other convenient locations.
