About Debra
She approaches each person as the expert of their own story and emphasizes existing strengths as the foundation for change. Over the years Debra has built a toolkit of problem-solving strategies and concentrates on educating and supporting clients as they move through transitions, recover from difficult relationships, or cope with mood and behavioral concerns.
Her experience includes work with grief and loss, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, caregiving for aging parents, coping with life changes, and recovery from narcissistic abuse. Debra aims to combine clear, practical guidance with empathy so clients feel supported while learning skills to improve day-to-day functioning and overall well-being.
Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Debra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques while keeping an emphasis on practical problem-solving and skills development. This means she focuses on interventions that have been shown to help people reduce symptoms, build coping skills, and manage daily challenges. In practice that can look like clear, step-by-step strategies to address mood concerns and patterns that interfere with functioning.
She also uses a solution-oriented, skills-based approach that emphasizes problem solving and education. That approach helps people identify immediate, actionable steps to improve relationships, handle life transitions, or navigate caregiving and grief. The goal is to teach tools clients can use between sessions to gain momentum and confidence.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Debra partners with each person to determine what techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Online sessions offer practical benefits - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow for scheduling flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options support consistent access to licensed professionals and allow therapy to continue when in-person visits are not feasible.
