How Deborah Uses CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Work Online
Deborah draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that interfere with sleep, mood, and daily functioning. CBT sessions typically involve identifying one or two practical changes to try between meetings and reviewing results together. She also uses Motivational Interviewing when someone wants support making a change around substance use or other health behaviors. That approach focuses on the persons own goals and on building motivation in small, manageable steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address symptoms that follow difficult events. This work emphasizes safety, pacing, and skills for managing strong emotions so people can gradually reclaim routines that support rest and recovery. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust based on what feels most helpful to the person and their goals.
