Her background includes an Educational Specialist degree in Counseling from Marshall University and long clinical experience with children, teens, and young adults. She maintains professional growth by attending conferences and learning new techniques.
Common concerns she addresses include depression, anxiety, relationship and communication problems, caregiver stress, codependency, isolation, and ADHD. Debbie aims to support clients as they move toward clearer choices and more manageable routines.
If someone is ready to take a first step, she offers a collaborative, goal-focused path to change and personal growth.
How client-centered and solution work together online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and the client's own goals. The therapist follows the person's lead, helps name strengths, and supports self-directed decisions. This approach is useful for people facing life transitions, parenthood changes, or emotional strain.Solution-focused therapy aims for practical, short-term steps. Sessions target concrete goals and small changes that add up over time. That method works well for parents and caregivers who need actionable ideas they can try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose whether to emphasize client-centered listening, solution-focused tasks, or a mix. This is done collaboratively so the plan fits the individual.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to have shorter check-ins between appointments. It also lets a person try different ways of working and adjust the plan as life changes.
