More about Debra

28 years' experience

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.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
