About Debbie
Debbie McClintic is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship or parenting concerns.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen first, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients build practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes rather than long lists of tasks. Her style is warm and direct. She values the client’s perspective and helps people identify strengths they can use right away.
Conversations often center on improving communication, reducing overwhelm, and handling caregiving or blended family stress. Debbie’s background includes an Educational Specialist degree in Counseling from Marshall University and long experience with adolescents and young adults. She continues attending conferences to keep current with approaches that help clients in everyday life.
People working with Debbie typically set short-term goals first, then expand into deeper themes like self-esteem, grief, or career direction. Sessions can include practical problem solving, role-play for communication, and planning concrete next steps. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person first by listening closely and reflecting what matters to them. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies personal strengths and values so they can decide what changes feel right. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and measurable progress; it helps when someone wants clear plans, short-term goals, and tools to move past a current problem.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each client to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and what they want to accomplish. That collaboration shapes session pace and the types of exercises used so work stays relevant and doable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for deeper conversations, phone sessions when video is not needed or bandwidth is limited, live chat for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging for brief updates or planning. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, manage ongoing work or parenting demands, and keep momentum between sessions.
