Online therapy style and options
Debra uses a person centred foundation in online work, creating space for individuals to describe their experience and set the pace for exploration. In this approach she listens for strengths and values, then supports clients in clarifying goals and making changes that fit their life circumstances. Sessions emphasize collaboration rather than a prescriptive plan.Mindfulness based strategies are used to help people notice patterns of thought and bodily response, and to build simple practices for staying present during stressful moments. Solution focused techniques are also employed to identify practical, short term steps toward specific goals so individuals can see progress between sessions. Narrative elements may be used to reframe the stories people tell about their work, relationships, or self image.
Debra offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text based messaging as ways to work together. These options allow ongoing collaboration while maintaining the strengths based, person centred stance described in her practice information.
