About Debra
LMFT (Florida and Connecticut), 24 years of experience. Debra Struzinski focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting, and related issues using Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Internal Family Systems.
Debra works with adults facing life transitions and relationship strains. She helps people talk through parenting pressures, grief, addiction concerns, and struggles with mood like bipolar disorder and depression. She also addresses issues such as trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors.
Her approach centers on listening and collaboration. Sessions use client-centered methods to ground the conversation in the person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep people stuck. Motivational Interviewing supports commitment to change when people feel uncertain.
Debra also brings Internal Family Systems ideas into the work to help clients notice different parts of themselves and how those parts relate. Practical topics she addresses include communication problems, divorce and separation, adoption and foster care concerns, first responder issues, postpartum depression, and caregiving strain.
She offers therapy in English and practices in Connecticut. Debra frames goals around everyday life: improving communication, managing anxiety, rebuilding after loss, and finding clearer direction at work or home. People who book will complete a short questionnaire before their first scheduled session.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. It helps people clarify what matters most and decide which changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions interact and offers concrete techniques for anxiety, depression, and behavior change. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-focused approach that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and build commitment.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how each method could fit. That discussion is collaborative so plans can shift as progress unfolds.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. They can also support steady progress when life changes make regular in-person visits difficult. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you complete the initial questionnaire so practical arrangements match your needs.
