How Deborah’s approaches translate to online work
Deborah draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports their goals. CBT offers concrete skills and practice that can be used between appointments to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help callers build readiness for change, especially around substance use and habit shifts. That approach uses open questions and reflection to clarify a person’s values and increase motivation for action.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what feels doable for the client.
