Her practice is located in Florida and sessions are offered in English. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Deborah’s approaches work in online therapy

Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often focuses on practical skills you can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address symptoms that follow traumatic events. That work often includes pacing, grounding techniques, and gradual processing of difficult memories to reduce their everyday impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Deborah will discuss goals, preferences, and the problems you want to solve, and she will help pick methods that fit your situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering the option to meet without video when needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep therapy consistent with your schedule and goals.
