About Debbie

Debbie Rehman Lux is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of clinical experience supporting people who face stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, eating concerns, self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She concentrates on practical tools to address painful patterns such as abandonment fears, body image distress, social anxiety, and difficulties with communication, divorce, guilt, or isolation. Her approach centers on building a respectful, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly.

Drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy principles, she helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and develop skills for managing emotions, improving interpersonal interactions, and increasing motivation and self-compassion. Debbie emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and steady progress, guiding people through actionable strategies that fit their daily lives.

Clients work with her to clarify life purpose, practice forgiveness, and strengthen self-love while navigating practical concerns and relationship repair. She invites those ready to take a courageous first step toward greater well-being to begin a thoughtful, client-centered process focused on real-world change.

CBT-Informed Care Through Online Sessions

Debbie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and test new, healthier behaviors in everyday life. CBT focuses on the link between thinking patterns, emotions, and actions, making it useful for anxiety, stress, social fears, and difficulties with self-esteem or eating-related concerns.

Her work emphasizes practical skill-building and collaborative planning, so clients and the therapist together choose approaches that fit the client's goals and preferences. This means trying techniques, reviewing what works, and adjusting strategies over time to find the best fit for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage in real time or through written formats that suit their comfort and schedule. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and apply newly learned skills between meetings.
