Licensed to practice psychology in Arizona (AZ Psychologist PSY-005209) and California (CA Psychologist 14727), Dr. DeBiase holds state credentials that authorize her to provide psychological assessment and therapy in those jurisdictions. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the specific needs and goals of each person she works with.

Dr. DeBiase integrates multiple clinical methods to address complex presentations such as attachment issues, abandonment concerns, body image and codependency, coping with loss or disaster, dissociation, domestic violence, and substance use. She also offers support around career questions, parenting and adoption or foster care matters, and caregiving exhaustion. Her practice centers on collaborative planning and practical strategies designed to help people move toward greater functioning and well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. DeBiase commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to identify personal values that guide meaningful action - this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another focus, examining how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy, trust, and communication; it can support healing around abandonment, adoption, and relationship repair.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people and couples recognize and reshape emotional responses that drive conflict and disconnection, making it a practical option for relationship distress and issues with emotional bonding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. DeBiase works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, clarify goals, and adjust methods so the treatment fits the client rather than the other way around.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, geographic limitations, or different comfort levels with therapy. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care and make it easier for people to engage in ongoing work from wherever they are located.
