Online therapy approach
Debra uses structured, practical methods in remote sessions that emphasize collaboration and skill building. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies to manage symptoms and behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy offers exercises to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Together these approaches support clients who want actionable steps and reflective practice.Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy inform shorter-term planning and goal setting. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and to strengthen personal motivation. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps toward preferred outcomes, making it a fit for people seeking targeted progress.
