Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Deborah works with a blend of established approaches to suit different needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's experience, offering empathic listening and support so people can explore their feelings and build self-understanding; it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life changes and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured approach that helps identify the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and develop skills for managing anxiety, stress and symptoms of depression. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns that arise from past relationships and life experiences to bring greater insight into current difficulties and recurring emotional themes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Deborah works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. She adapts techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and geographic constraints, and they allow registered professionals and therapists to provide consistent support even when meeting in person is not possible.
