About Debra
Debra Aquino is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Kentucky. She brings three years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. Debra aims to create a respectful, warm space where people can talk without judgment.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. She also supports those dealing with parenting strains, relationship tension, self-esteem issues, anger, grief, and career transitions.
Background and approach
ADHD, LGBT concerns, family issues, and seasonal affective disorder are additional areas she addresses. In sessions Debra uses straightforward, goal-focused methods. She adapts the pace and format to what the person needs, and she centers conversations on clear, usable steps.
Expect a collaborative tone that balances listening with practical suggestions. Debra works with themes that often overlap, like grief and career change or anxiety and parenting stress. She pays attention to cultural and veteran-related issues when they matter to the person seeking help.
Language of sessions is English. Appointments are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. People can choose the way that fits their routine and comfort.
Debra supports those outside the United States as well.
How Debra’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. It emphasizes respect and a nonjudgmental attitude while helping people identify what matters most in their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away, and it can reduce reactivity to stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Debra will work together with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and how they prefer to communicate. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and checking in to see what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, step-by-step planning, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other routines.
