About Doyle
Doyle DeGraw is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with ten years of counseling experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting, depression, addictions, eating issues, and self-esteem. Doyle writes clearly about attachment, communication problems, control issues, and fatherhood challenges as part of his practice.
He uses a direct, practical style in sessions. He offers tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. He also talks through family of origin patterns to identify triggers related to addictions, eating problems, or strained relationships.
Doyle blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and attachment-based ideas. He describes sessions as straightforward and goal-focused, helping people build an actionable plan for coping and change. The Gottman Method is part of his work with relational concerns.
He highlights losses that are sometimes hard to name, such as job loss, adult children leaving home, or a partner’s health decline. He says these situations often need concrete strategies for managing grief, role shifts, and daily functioning.
Sessions are presented with an emphasis on clear communication and measurable steps. Doyle aims to challenge unhelpful patterns while offering practical supports people can use between meetings. He encourages collaboration on goals and next steps rather than vague promises of change.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Doyle often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT sessions typically include setting specific goals, testing new behaviors between meetings, and tracking progress over time.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns that started in family life. That approach focuses on how early bonds affect current reactions and helps people practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy appears in his work as a way to keep conversations focused on the person’s goals and experience while the therapist supports exploration rather than directs it.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He approaches that collaboratively, reviewing goals and adapting the plan based on what a person needs and prefers. Clients help shape whether sessions emphasize cognitive skill-building, relational repair, or processing family history.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Because session formats are not specified in the source biography, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled and billed.
