Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Debby commonly incorporates trauma-informed approaches that focus on understanding how past harm affects present functioning; these methods help people process traumatic memories and build coping skills to manage stress and emotional responses. She also uses inner child work, a therapeutic technique that helps clients explore early experiences and unmet needs in order to heal persistent patterns and strengthen self-compassion. Attachment-focused techniques are another area of emphasis, helping clients improve relationship patterns, communication, and emotional regulation.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Debby collaborates with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting the work over time so the approach fits the client rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy with Debby is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session formats, and connect with a registered professional in a way that suits the client’s life and needs.
