Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Deborah uses the Gottman Method to help people improve communication patterns and reduce conflict. That approach focuses on concrete skills for listening, expressing needs, and rebuilding trust in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior cycles to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Deborah will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then tailor methods to fit the situation. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what helps most, keeping clients involved in decisions about therapy direction.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat work well for shorter conversations or follow-ups. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
