About Debra

Debra Konecni is an Arizona licensed professional counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD, and offers guidance on building self-esteem and healthy boundaries.

Background and approach

Debra emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. Her approach blends practical strategies and supportive listening to address a wide range of concerns, from relationship and intimacy issues to grief, addictions, and eating or sleeping challenges.

She also attends to related areas such as attachment, codependency, communication problems, and coping with major life transitions. Debra encourages steady progress at a comfortable pace and aims to meet clients where they are while collaborating on achievable goals.

Clients can expect tailored care that draws on evidence-informed methods and an affirming, nonjudgmental stance. Debra welcomes individuals seeking a thoughtful, client-centered partnership to explore change, build coping skills, and work toward greater emotional balance.

Approaches That Translate to Online Care



Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, focusing on each person’s values and experience so goals and pace are set together; this approach supports work on self-esteem, grief, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships and personal patterns to improve connection and regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to determine which methods best match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds to find what feels most effective and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use tools and exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic techniques to each format so people can pursue meaningful change in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels.
