How Deborah’s approaches work online
Deborah commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with people online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead so sessions reflect their priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong feelings make daily life hard. DBT techniques provide step-by-step tools people can practice between sessions to manage impulses and reduce overwhelm. Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work together; Deborah will talk through options and adjust based on the person's goals and what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people have a face-to-face style conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, skills practice, or quick support during busy weeks. These options aim to make regular therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
