More about Debra

LMHC

Are you having trouble living your best life? Do you think, "I should be happy because....?" After 26 years working as a psychotherapist, I continue to focus on building a trusting and collaborative relationship with my patients/clients. It is my belief that all good work in therapy is based upon this foundation. I approach each session with the goals of maintaining that relationship, addressing short time issues/struggles and looking at the underlying connections to daily events and interactions. By using this 3 pronged approach, we can understand ongoing patterns that interfere with one achieving the best quality and satisfaction in his/her life. I specialize in working with individual struggling with depression, anxiety, traumatic events (past and present) and feelings of diminished self worth. I have experience and special interest working with parenting issues, infertility and interpersonal difficulties. I work with positive aspects of a person, even during times when they find it difficult to see this themselves. Everyone has strengths within them and these are utilized to keep the best within a person.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
