About DeBrica

DeBrica Butler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family challenges, and parenting issues. She also works with people facing depression, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, and self-esteem struggles. DeBrica brings focus to LGBT matters, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions.

She emphasizes practical support and encouragement for people ready to make changes. Her style centers on listening first and following the person’s lead.

Background and approach

She treats clients as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented, with room for reflection and processing. DeBrica draws from several therapy approaches to match what a person needs.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to hold a respectful, accepting space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping.

She also brings elements of the Gottman Method when addressing relationship patterns and communication. Existential ideas are used to explore meaning and life choices when that fits a client’s concerns. With 13 years of experience as an LPC, she blends these tools to create a practical path forward.

People who choose to work with her can expect collaboration and clear steps. The aim is steady progress through small, manageable changes rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy is built around respect and acceptance. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping people identify strengths and make choices that fit their values. This approach often helps with family and relationship concerns where feeling heard matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches clear, practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then combine techniques to match each person’s needs. That collaborative process helps shape sessions and the plan moving forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep continuity during life changes. Many people find that having multiple formats lets them use skills between meetings and stay connected in ways that match their routine.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
