Background and approach

Debbie trained at Marshall University and holds an Educational Specialist degree in Counseling. She also holds the LPC credential in West Virginia. Over her career she has supported people dealing with depression, anger, ADHD, and postpartum struggles, among other concerns.

She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. That mix helps people who want both understanding and steps they can use right away. Debbie keeps learning through conferences and ongoing training to add new tools to sessions.

People who choose her can expect sessions that balance compassion with practical planning. She encourages responsibility and self-direction while offering steady support. If someone is ready to take a first step, she works to make that step clear and doable.

How Debbie’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, which helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief, and relationship stress.

Solution-focused therapy looks at small, practical steps clients can try between sessions. It is goal-oriented and can be helpful for parenting concerns, coping with life changes, and reducing anxiety by testing short experiments.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Debbie will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to use and when to adjust the plan.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging offer quick check-ins and flexible contact. These options help people keep continuity of care while juggling parenting, work, and other obligations.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
