About Doyle

Doyle DeGraw is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family struggles, parenting concerns, depression, addictions, eating and self-esteem issues.

Background and approach

He brings a decade of clinical experience and a long background in pastoral care to his practice, guiding clients through challenges such as attachment wounds, communication difficulties, control issues, and trauma-related symptoms like panic and post-traumatic stress. He approaches therapy in an integrative, person-centered way that emphasizes strengths and practical tools.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central method he uses to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and develop concrete strategies for change, while attachment-based work explores family of origin dynamics that often underlie present problems.

Doyle is known for a straightforward, direct communication style and blends challenging and supportive interventions to help clients move past fear, anxiety, guilt, shame, and relational ruptures like infidelity. Licensed in New York and New Jersey, Doyle works with individuals and couples on issues including fatherhood concerns, forgiveness, life purpose, narcissism-related patterns, and ambiguous loss.

He aims to help clients build actionable plans to resolve current struggles and find greater freedom from limiting patterns.

Integrative approaches for online relational care

CBT helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through structured exercises and goal-oriented strategies; it is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, addictive behaviors, and problems with eating or self-esteem.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early and family relationships shape current feelings and reactions, offering a path to understand triggers, improve emotional connection, and address family of origin issues that contribute to present difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This collaborative process may blend techniques over time as new insights emerge and priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy lives, support varied comfort levels with technology and conversation, and provide multiple ways to engage as the therapeutic relationship develops.
