Online and remote options
Deborah offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so adults can connect in a format that fits their needs. These options make it possible to continue collaborative counseling when meeting in person is not practical.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the client leads the pace and focus of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy introduces practical ways to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to try new strategies. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to manage stress and physical sensations.
In remote work she and the client establish shared goals and select techniques that match the client’s preferences and day-to-day life. Communication by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging is used to check progress, review exercises, and adjust the plan together.
