Remote sessions using structured therapeutic methods
Deborah offers online care that emphasizes practical, collaborative work tailored to a client’s goals. She frequently draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people clarify values, learn skills for responding to distressing thoughts, and create small, achievable changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is described in plain terms as a way to notice inner experience while choosing actions that align with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is framed as a method for identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and for trying new, skillful responses.For those processing trauma, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used alongside mindfulness practices to support paced exploration of past experiences and present triggers when that fits the client’s needs. Motivational Interviewing techniques are available to support commitment to change when ambivalence is present. Deborah works collaboratively, matching methods to a person’s readiness and priorities.
Telework options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different preferences for connection and ongoing support.
