Remote therapy style and methods
Deborah offers online work that blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to build values-based action plans. CBT provides concrete tools for noticing and testing thoughts and behaviors, while ACT supports working with difficult internal experiences and committing to meaningful steps. These approaches are described in straightforward language and are adapted to each person’s concerns.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are also used to support change when someone is weighing options or seeking short-term goals. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify motivation and resolve mixed feelings. Solution-Focused methods emphasize practical steps and small experiments that can be tried between meetings.
Sessions are designed to be collaborative: Deborah partners with each person to set goals and to choose which techniques to emphasize. Remote appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different communication preferences.
