Debi Davis, LPC

Debi Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of experience. She draws on decades of work in correctional counseling and vocational rehabilitation to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, and changes at work or home.

Her style is interactive and engaging. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She listens and helps people find workable ways to cope and move forward.

Debi uses cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered methods, and elements from dialectical behavior therapy to shape sessions. That means conversations often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying new behaviors, and practicing skills between meetings.

She regularly supports people dealing with grief, trauma, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and substance use struggles. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress.

Debi aims to make therapy collaborative. She works with each person to set realistic goals and adjusts the approach as needs change. Her background in vocational rehabilitation also means she can help people weigh career options and cope with workplace stress.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Debi commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered techniques in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that cause distress and testing new behaviors to feel and function better. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping the person lead the direction of therapy.

She may also draw on skills from dialectical behavior therapy when strong emotions or relationship patterns cause repeated problems. DBT-style skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for people who need practical tools.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Debi will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are involved in deciding what works and what to change.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support ongoing coaching, brief check-ins, or skill reminders between sessions.
