About Deborah
Her approach centers on tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities and experience. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that can make daily life easier.
Deborah often supports people dealing with blended family stress, caregiver strain, communication problems, and workplace challenges. She also works with those affected by divorce, fertility struggles, guilt, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Process addictions like pornography, exercise, or gambling are listed among her concerns.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Deborah listens first, then helps set small, realistic steps. She emphasizes finding what works day to day instead of relying on one-size-fits-all solutions.
If you are considering therapy, she encourages completing the initial matching steps so you can schedule a first session. The process begins with a short questionnaire and moves toward a plan based on your goals and availability.

How Deborah Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on seeing things from the client's point of view and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to build confidence in their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior; it offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting and can help with anxiety, low mood, and addictive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. She treats therapy as a collaboration so that adjustments can be made as progress and challenges arise.
