About Debra
Debra Konecni is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience in clinical work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. She also supports clients facing trauma, addictions, and questions about identity and relationships.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. Debra listens first, then helps people set small, concrete goals they can reach. She uses straightforward tools to build confidence and improve daily coping skills.
How Debra works
Sessions move at a pace the client finds comfortable. Debra works with concerns such as self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, and sleep or eating difficulties. She also helps people dealing with anger, parenting strain, ADHD, and the fallout of separation or divorce.
Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, and substance-related problems. Therapy draws on client-centered conversation along with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused strategies. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they fit the client’s goals.
Debra adapts methods to each person rather than following a fixed script. People who prefer calm, respectful guidance tend to do well in her sessions. She emphasizes clear communication, practical skill-building, and steady progress.
To get started, clients choose an online plan and schedule sessions that match their needs.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. The therapist creates space for clients to talk through what matters most and helps them identify their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful reactions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust if something does not fit. This collaborative process helps pinpoint which strategies feel most useful for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text is useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping treatment consistent.
