About DeBrica

DeBrica Butler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger, parenting challenges, addictions, trauma and abuse, and related issues. She also supports those navigating intimacy problems, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions.

She uses a straightforward, client-centered approach that treats the person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She combines Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive-behavioral strategies and skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful.

DeBrica also brings methods from Gottman-informed work to relationship conversations and applies existential ideas when clients are facing big life questions. She uses motivational techniques to help people make changes and stay committed to them. In session she talks through patterns, communication habits, and ways to manage strong emotions like anger.

People can expect a mix of talking, skills practice, and problem-solving. The work often includes identifying unhelpful thinking, learning emotional regulation skills, and trying new ways of communicating. She pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns and to issues like abandonment or attachment that affect relationships.

Sessions are offered in English and are based in Georgia. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and to schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

DeBrica frequently draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and uses reflective conversation to clarify goals and choices. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions. DBT adds concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense feelings and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client's goals and preferences. That may mean combining talk-based exploration with practical skill-building exercises and homework to test new habits between sessions.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used online, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice communication skills in their everyday settings and move more quickly from insight to real-life change.
