About Debi
Clients find a direct, interactive style in sessions. Debi aims to empower people to make practical changes. Conversations are engaging and goal-focused, with attention to mood, stress, and daily routines.
Her background includes long-term work with depression, anxiety, substance concerns, attention differences such as ADHD, and trauma-related issues. She also supports people facing career changes, grief, relationship strain, and challenges related to eating and sleeping.
Debi blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral strategies and practical problem solving. That mix is used to identify unhelpful thinking, build new coping habits, and set small, achievable goals. She encourages people to try new approaches between sessions and notice what changes.
People who want a hands-on, collaborative counselor may find this approach helpful. Debi emphasizes growth through short-term goals and steady skill building. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether this active, practical style fits their needs before scheduling.

How therapy approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following each person's concerns. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That decision can change over time as progress and priorities become clearer.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for different check-in styles such as brief phone conversations or longer video meetings depending on what the therapist offers. Talk with the therapist about which format would best support your goals and daily schedule.
