I am Debbie Kochakji, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I provide virtual tele health counseling primarily for adults. This is a GREAT first step for change! I use a direct approach, paired with dedication, compassion and humor. The ultimate goal is for the client to gain a sense of empowerment for growth and healing to achieve a more fulfilling life. Together we will work through challenges and create a tool box of lifetime skills and strategies. Virtual counseling provides safe and easy access to make those changes you are seeking! The focus would be on identifying needs, goals and strategies to increase social competency, self-esteem, problem-solving, conflict resolution, coping skills, and communication. Focus will be on identifying patterns that do not work, and replacing strategies that will work more effectively. Every individual is different. I start where the client is, identifying and assessing; goals, priorities, cultural norms, values, feelings, and your communication style. We will work together for you to gain insight into your strengths and challenges, and patterns and perceptions that guide you. I am truly passionate to assist you through this process.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with many years of experience helping people, mostly adults. I love helping people. It is such a privilege to participate in your care. I am the 'original' judgement free zone (before that other company chose that phrase; you know the one). I am a mid-westerner, and bring my midwestern sensibilities to my approach. Our relationship is collaborative and supportive. I encourage you to be an active participant in understanding yourself better from the inside out, your triggers, strengths, and past successes; to develop and strengthen your inner resources; I am creative in my thinking, and encourage you to consider the same: reading books, creating affirmations, drawing, etc.. Patience is required (of which I have much), while I serve as a container for unpacking and exploring your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and life experiences which are interfering with your growth. I do not choose your goals or make decisions for you as I cannot live your life for you. When I am not working, I enjoy knitting. "We do not harvest our inner crop on the same day we plant the seed"

With over 40 years' simultaneous experience as a therapist and social worker, I offer practice knowledge combined with working-class life experience. Your change goals will guide our work together. My job is to suggest different choices in the way you think and act in the areas of your life where you are experiencing discomfort. My style is a very warm yet direct one: Once you are comfortable with me, I won't hesitate to point-out ways in which you might unknowingly self sabotage or contribute to your stated problems. There will be alternatives suggested, and you are free to try-on new behavior patterns which align with your values and lifestyle. Change can be scary; it can also greatly improve your life's quality. For most of my career, I've offered counseling in-person while simultaneously working in social work, where I provided more concrete services. Now that I've made the decision to work from home and only part-time, I'm excited to solely focus on offering therapy services fully online.
