Debra Struzinski

Debra Struzinski is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Connecticut. She brings 24 years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship concerns. Her approach centers on respectful, practical conversations that help people make changes that matter to daily life.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a supportive space where people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps people find personal reasons to change, and Internal Family Systems offers a way to understand different parts of oneself.

Debra helps with parenting and family tensions, adoption and foster care questions, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, postpartum depression, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Anger and intimacy-related issues are included among her focus areas.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and the practical steps they want to take. Debra encourages small, manageable changes and clear next steps between meetings.

People who reach out complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability. The practice notes that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm the current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful space where people feel heard. In practice this means the therapist listens carefully, mirrors concerns, and helps clients set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Both approaches are useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and mood concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions match the client’s needs and progress.

Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed. It also lets people use quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth options when that better fits their day. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and Client-Centered methods to an online setting, focusing on practical tools and steps that transfer into everyday life.
