Remote sessions using evidence-informed therapies
Debra integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify personal values, notice unhelpful thoughts, and develop actionable steps toward preferred ways of living. ACT offers a values-based frame to guide decisions, while CBT provides practical tools to address distressing thought patterns and behaviors. These approaches are explained in straightforward terms so clients can apply skills between sessions.
When trauma or distressing memories are central, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing may be incorporated to support processing of those experiences. Debra also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused elements to maintain a collaborative, goal-oriented process that centers the client’s priorities. This combination allows flexibility across short-term goals and deeper exploration.
Debra offers online appointments via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She and the client discuss which format best fits the presenting concerns and practical needs, then proceed using the agreed communication methods.
