More about Deborah

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

My professional view of counseling is that it is a journey of self exploration by the client, using therapy as a guide to self understanding & self awareness. I, as a marriage and family therapist, use the skills that I have learned and developed throughout my education and clinical experience to facilitate growth in my clients. I am not an expert in any of my clients’ lives, but I strive to learn who they are from them and allow them to make decisions for themselves. I allow the client to guide the session so we can talk about the deep rooted problems when they are ready & tackle the daily struggles that cause anxiety & depression.

I use talk therapy as a means of bringing dialogue and relationships to the forefront of the session. Reviewing presenting problems, past therapy experiences, and their goals will determine which theory or framework to use moving forward. In my experience, DBT, CBT, ACT, SFT and Motivational Interviewing have proven to be successful among my clients.

I remain empathetic, supportive, and validating through each session and applaud clients as they grow and learn. Whether the goals are big or small, we will tackle each one and the obstacles that may arise. My philosophy is to teach each client that they are worthy of unconditional acceptance regardless of anything that would lead them to think otherwise.

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.
