About Debby
Debby Sawyer is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with 33 years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, and self-esteem concerns. Debby focuses on practical steps and clear conversations to help clients notice what is working and what is not.
She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the approaches she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. She also uses client-centered listening and existential ideas to help people clarify values and meaning when life feels overwhelming.
Debby aims for observable changes early in therapy. Sessions typically involve setting small goals, trying out different strategies between meetings, and checking what helped. She includes mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when they fit the person’s goals and situation.
Her experience includes work with a broad range of life stressors such as abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, aging and caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, body image and communication problems. Debby also addresses addictions and eating disorder concerns alongside mood and anxiety issues.

How Debby Uses CBT, Client-Centered, and Existential Work Online
Debby uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and to try concrete alternative responses. CBT is practical and goal-focused, and it often includes short experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting.Client-centered work means she listens with attention to the person’s experience and priorities, then follows those leads to shape sessions. Existential ideas are used when people want to clarify values, face uncertainty, or find personal meaning after a loss or life change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods best fit a person’s goals, situation, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT exercises with reflective client-centered conversation and occasional existential questions.
