About Debra

Debra Konecni is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona. She has seven years of experience supporting people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma. Debra aims to meet each person where they are and to move at a pace that feels manageable.

She focuses on practical steps that can make daily life feel easier. That can mean building small routines, practicing mindful breathing, or using straightforward thinking tools to break down overwhelming worries. She also works on setting healthy boundaries and strengthening self-worth through positive affirmations.

Debra shapes sessions around each person’s needs. Conversations are tailored to current concerns and real-life goals rather than abstract theory. She values respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction.

Her background includes a mix of client-centered and evidence-informed methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on emotionally focused ideas to help people understand and shift relationship patterns. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices are added when clients want short-term behavior change or tools to calm the nervous system.

People who contact Debra often want clear, doable steps and a supportive listener while they make changes. She encourages progress at a person’s own pace and works collaboratively to create a treatment plan that fits daily life.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Client-centered therapy puts your goals and choices first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps you name what matters. This approach can help people who want space to explore feelings and make their own decisions about change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete steps to change daily routines and thinking habits.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and shift patterns in important relationships. It can be useful when relationship distress or attachment issues are a central concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with you to pick methods that match your needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online therapy can make scheduling simpler and let sessions fit into busy lives, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. It also lets people use breathing or mindfulness exercises in the moment and practice new skills between meetings.
