Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Debi directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Therapeutic approaches for online work and practical change
Debi draws from Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shape online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about their lives and try new, more helpful stories. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and respected in setting goals. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Debi will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative tone helps clients see what feels useful and what should shift over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be a good fit for quick check-ins, brief skills practice, or when typing feels more manageable than speaking. These options make it easier to work on goals around work, family, or school schedules while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
