About Debbie
Debbie McCown-Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado. She offers a direct and warm approach that aims to make difficult conversations easier to start. Debbie focuses on helping people facing mood challenges, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, and life transitions.
She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Social Work from Walla Walla University. Over 14 years she has worked with people dealing with depression, bipolar mood disorders, ADHD, addictions, and grief.
Background and approach
She also supports those who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. In sessions she keeps things interactive and practical. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people identify unhelpful patterns and build clearer choices.
Debbie also draws on client-centered and dialectical behavior ideas to keep the focus on what matters to each person. EMDR is one of the approaches she includes when trauma work is appropriate and when a client is interested in that method. Her style is respectful and nonjudgmental, and she aims to tailor the plan to each person's needs and goals.
Debbie encourages people to take small, manageable steps toward change. She frames therapy as collaboration and offers steady support while clients try out new ways of coping. If someone wants practical guidance and a compassionate listener, she can help them move forward.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Debbie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice small changes. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. She also incorporates acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps even when difficult feelings remain. ACT can help with stress, life transitions, and persistent worries.EMDR is part of her toolkit for trauma-focused work when it fits a person's goals and readiness. She and the client decide together whether to use EMDR, CBT, ACT, or a mix of methods so the plan matches the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers several conveniences for people juggling busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face without travel. Phone sessions and live chat can fit short breaks at work or days with low bandwidth. Text-based messaging supports ongoing check-ins and brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while trying new coping skills.
