Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Deborah draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-based environment where the client’s experience guides the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps people who need space to explore feelings and values while building self-understanding.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood challenges, and stress. CBT tends to be goal-focused and can produce tangible skills clients use between sessions.
