CBT and Collaborative Care Delivered Online
Debra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. CBT involves practical exercises and goal-oriented strategies that can reduce symptoms and build coping skills for everyday challenges.Alongside CBT, she emphasizes a collaborative, individualized approach that tailors treatment to each person’s priorities. That means working together to choose techniques and goals that fit the client’s needs, values, and pace, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
