How Deborah Brings Therapy Online with Practical Approaches

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where clarity about what matters matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying new responses. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and anger management.

Mindfulness practices are used alongside these methods to help people pay attention to the present moment, reduce reactivity, and build stress management skills. These techniques can support emotional regulation and coping with grief or trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Deborah will discuss your goals, preferences, and everyday demands, and then recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
