About DeBrica
DeBrica Butler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 13 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, anger, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She also supports those facing ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach starts from the idea that the client is the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversations. She listens for strengths and helps people build on what already works for them.
DeBrica uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies. That means she helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and practice coping skills in the moment. She also draws on existential ideas to examine meaning and on the Gottman Method for relationship concerns.
In sessions she takes a straightforward style. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and offers tools suited to the issue at hand. People can expect concrete skills they can try between meetings and time to talk through setbacks.
Her practice includes attention to communication problems, attachment and abandonment issues, divorce and infidelity, multicultural concerns, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, self-love, and women’s issues. She speaks English and practices in Georgia. To begin, clients follow the site's matching steps and schedule an initial appointment.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on the client’s own strengths. Online sessions using this approach let clients describe their experience while the counselor reflects and helps organize next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. In an online setting that can mean setting small experiments, using worksheets, and reviewing results together in the next session.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Online work often includes practicing breathing and grounding techniques, learning emotion regulation strategies, and reviewing how skills were used during the week.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing approaches or trying one for a period and adjusting as progress is tracked.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they work on anger, relationships, and stress-related goals.
