She makes me feel comfortable like talking with a fresh with really good advice and a different way of looking at a situation. She also doesn't force you to deal with anything too difficult when your not ready to deal with it yet. She also keeps things as realistic and applicable as possible. I have learned a lot about myself in a short amount of time and have been working to change things that are not working for me. All in all she's one of the best therapists I've had.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is very considerate and a great listener. She was very professional and and understanding!
I’ve been working with Debby for some time now, and I can’t speak highly enough about the impact she has had on my well-being. From our very first session, she created a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where I felt comfortable opening up. She is an attentive listener and has an incredible ability to offer thoughtful advice that’s both practical and insightful. Her guidance has helped me navigate some difficult moments in my life, and I always leave our sessions feeling more grounded and equipped with tools to manage my challenges. I truly appreciate her dedication and the personalized approach she brings to each session. I would highly recommend Debby to anyone seeking meaningful and supportive therapy.
