Online support
How Deborah’s approaches work online
Deborah uses Existential Therapy to focus on meaning, choice, and values. This helps people who feel empty, stuck, or unsure what matters to them by looking at what they want from life and what gets in the way.She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and acceptance. That approach is useful for people who need a supportive space to talk through grief, anxiety, or relationship concerns without pressure to follow a set plan.
Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and grounding skills. These practices can help with stress, sleep problems, anger, and managing strong emotions between sessions.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Deborah collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day reality. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts the focus when needed.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is helpful for a face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging is useful for brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
