How Deborah’s approaches translate to online therapy
Deborah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy involves noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and coping during big life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a respectful space so clients can explore what matters most to them.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily needs, and what feels most useful, then suggest ways of working that match those preferences. This collaborative planning helps make sure sessions feel relevant and manageable.

Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, shorten commute time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can use pacing, homework, and simple skills practice that translate well to remote sessions, helping clients apply what they learn between meetings.
