About Debra
LCSW licensed in New York with 12 years of professional experience, Debra Kearse-Thomas helps people address stress, anxiety, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She also focuses on self-love and issues commonly affecting women. Debra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide conversations and practical steps toward change.
Debra structures sessions around clear problem-solving and skill practice. She uses CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Sessions include talk, practical exercises, and plans to try between meetings.
Her approach emphasizes straightforward feedback and gradual progress. She works at a steady pace and adjusts the focus based on how people respond. That can mean shorter skill-building sessions or longer conversations about patterns that keep repeating.
Debra frames therapy as a collaborative effort. She listens to what matters most, then suggests exercises and small experiments to try in daily life. Progress is tracked with simple, doable steps rather than abstract goals.
For people wondering how to begin, she asks a few questions up front to clarify goals and priorities. From there she and the person choose which CBT techniques and practical strategies to use. Those choices are revisited over time as needs change.
