About Doyle
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) New York and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) New Jersey with 10 years of counseling experience, Doyle DeGraw focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, parenting, depression, addictions, eating concerns, and self-esteem. He combines direct feedback with practical tools to address everyday struggles. Doyle’s style is straightforward and goal-oriented. He describes himself as challenging when needed and also providing comfort and tangible skills.
Doyle sees many problems as linked to relational trauma and family patterns. He helps people look at family of origin issues to find possible triggers behind current behavior. That process is conversational and focused on identifying patterns rather than assigning blame.
His approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to change thinking and behavior. He also uses attachment-based ideas to address how close relationships affect emotions and choices. The Gottman Method is part of his toolkit for couples work when relationship communication and trust are central concerns.
Sessions aim to build skills you can use between meetings, such as communication strategies, behavior experiments, and thought-challenging exercises. Doyle says he prefers clear, direct communication and will help create concrete plans to handle problems like panic attacks, addiction cravings, or conflict with a partner.
He notes experience supporting people with grief and ambiguous loss, fatherhood matters, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and life purpose questions. Sessions are held in English and reflect his combined clinical and pastoral background.

How his approaches are used in remote sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape emotional responses. It helps identify patterns tied to family relationships and can be useful for attachment issues, trust problems, and relational triggers. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and validation while helping people find their own solutions; it supports self-esteem and decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework, and it is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using written exercises, screen-shared worksheets, and between-session practice to reinforce skills learned in sessions.
