She emphasizes practical steps and steady support so clients can manage day-to-day struggles and move toward goals. Her tone is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at people who want clear tools and a steady partner in therapy.
Debora believes clients know their own stories and brings experience to help them use their strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills you can try between meetings, simpler ways to handle tough moments, and ideas for improving sleep, mood, and relationships. She values short, concrete goals alongside deeper personal work. Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical practice across a range of concerns.
She has worked with people managing trauma and abuse, chronic health conditions, cancer, caregiver stress, and the emotional effects of major life changes. That experience informs a practical approach that balances emotion-focused work with skill building. Debora draws from several therapy styles like cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based approaches to tailor the work to each person.
She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and dialectical skills when helpful. The result is a mix of talking, hands-on exercises, and real-life planning. Clients can expect a collaborative relationship where the therapist and client decide what helps most.
Debora aims to make sessions accessible and focused, so progress can happen even when life feels busy or overwhelming.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters most and take small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting attention toward meaningful goals rather than only trying to remove difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns. It often includes straightforward exercises and homework to practice new skills, which makes it a good fit for issues like anxiety, sleep problems, and mood management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Debora will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean using ACT ideas one week and CBT exercises the next, or adding mindfulness and dialectical skills when things feel intense.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations, phone can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging is useful for brief updates or working between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
