About Debra
Debra Struzinski brings 24 years of experience as an LMFT to her Connecticut practice, blending relational and inner-directed approaches to help people cope with life’s challenges.
Background and approach
She draws on Internal Family Systems to explore internal parts and how they influence emotions and behavior, while also using client-centered listening and practical cognitive-behavioral techniques to address stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Her work often focuses on relationship dynamics, parenting and family conflict, and transitions such as divorce or career change.
Struzinski approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment goals to the individual’s needs. She also addresses issues like trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns, along with related topics such as forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose.
Available in English and licensed in Connecticut, she offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules and preferences, and she supports clients as they take the first steps toward more satisfying relationships and greater emotional balance.
Bringing relational and internal work to online therapy
Debra Struzinski integrates Internal Family Systems and client-centered methods in online work to help clients understand inner parts and strengthen self-led responses. Internal Family Systems involves identifying and working with different internal voices or parts to reduce conflict and soothe protective behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, trauma responses, and patterns that affect relationships. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while they explore values, relationships, and life changes.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs during early sessions and adapt methods over time so the work fits each person’s situation. That flexibility allows blending inner-directed exploration with practical cognitive and behavioral skills when helpful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, balance therapy with work or family responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care when schedules change. Licensed professionals can use these options to tailor pacing, homework, and communication between sessions to support steady progress.
