She also pays attention to life purpose and self-love. Debra works from an integrative perspective and uses several therapeutic methods to meet what each person brings to a session.
Debra helps people notice patterns that get in the way of day-to-day functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Debra frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experiences and clarifying values so people can take meaningful action even when feelings are difficult.She also draws on Client-Centered principles, which means listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's goals. Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early sessions. The therapist and client collaborate to pick skills and practices that match needs, goals, and personal preferences.
