How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals together. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective questions to clarify what a person wants to change and which small steps to try. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior. In a remote session this often means practicing new skills, reviewing homework, and tracking what shifts between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Debra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to prioritize based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That may mean combining listening-focused client-centered work with CBT exercises or brief solution-focused steps.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow sessions without travel time. These practical benefits help people try techniques between meetings and apply them in day-to-day life.
