About Debra
Debra Konecni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with seven years of experience. She focuses on practical, person-centered work that helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. Debra emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support as people begin difficult changes.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Sessions aim to build self-esteem, address trauma and abuse, and support coping through life changes.
Background and approach
She also helps with sleep and eating concerns, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and attention-related struggles. Debra often works on relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, commitment and codependency concerns, and attachment or abandonment themes. She supports people facing grief, divorce or separation, and the ongoing strain of caregiving or aging.
Her approach includes motivational interviewing and mindfulness to boost motivation and calm racing thoughts. In sessions she tailors the conversation and plan to each person’s needs and pace. She encourages positive affirmations and practical boundary setting.
Debra aims for clear, doable steps so progress feels achievable rather than overwhelming. People can expect a warm, direct style that focuses on what matters most right now. She values collaboration and helps people set goals they actually want to work toward.

Online support
How emotion-focused care and online sessions fit together
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions and the interaction patterns that keep them stuck. It can be useful for addressing intense hurt, attachment wounds, and recurring relationship or intimacy struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and following the client’s pace to build trust and clarity. It supports people who need a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk through worries and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small, practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and for learning new coping skills. Debra combines these approaches to match a person’s goals, and she works with each person to decide which methods to emphasize in sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or school. Video calls let the therapist observe body language and tone, phone sessions use less bandwidth and are easier during a busy day, and live chat or text-based messaging can be helpful for short check-ins or when writing helps you process. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care and make scheduling more manageable for clients.
