About Doyle
Doyle DeGraw helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and struggles with addiction or eating. He works with issues around self-esteem, communication breakdowns, control, and attachment. Doyle is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with ten years of counseling experience.
Doyle uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He blends Client-Centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based ideas to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
How Doyle works
He also draws on couple-focused techniques from the Gottman Method when relationship work is needed. Sessions focus on identifying triggers and the family history that keeps them active. Doyle often talks through family of origin issues and fatherhood concerns to find links to current struggles.
He aims to give clear tools people can use between sessions to manage panic, cravings, or upsetting thoughts. He describes his style as direct but supportive. Meetings include goal setting, practical exercises, and chances to try new ways of communicating.
People leave with a concrete plan to practice in daily life. Doyle also addresses loss, guilt, shame, infidelity, and questions around life purpose. He supports men navigating masculinity and relationship roles, and he helps people heal from trauma-related symptoms.
Sessions are offered in English and take place with attention to each person’s goals.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional reactions; it helps people understand why they respond strongly in close relationships and how to form steadier connections. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and acceptance so people can explore goals and decide on next steps with the therapist acting as a supportive guide. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with actions and thinking that reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That process is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches so therapy fits real life.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone meetings work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, homework review, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make scheduling easier and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
