About Doyle
Doyle DeGraw is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with ten years of counseling experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, parenting, depression, addictions, eating and self-esteem. He also focuses on attachment issues, communication problems, control issues, and family of origin issues.
Doyle uses direct, practical conversations to identify patterns that keep people stuck. He asks clear questions and helps people notice how family roles and expectations still shape daily behavior. Sessions include looking at triggers that come from early relationships and learning concrete strategies to respond differently.
His approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas. That means listening to how someone experiences a problem, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and working on relationship patterns. He also uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship skills when that fits.
Doyle draws on a long history of pastoral work alongside his counseling practice. He describes his communication style as straightforward and direct. Expect focused sessions aimed at making usable plans for change.
He addresses losses that are not only bereavement, such as job changes or shifting family roles, and helps people develop coping steps for those situations. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the site.
How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Doyle uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That approach helps people spot patterns around closeness, trust, and boundaries and is useful for family of origin issues and relationship concerns.He also applies client-centered methods that focus on each person’s experience. This means sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the client and building on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice concrete behavior changes for anxiety, panic, or mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Doyle will collaborate with clients to decide which methods to prioritize based on goals and preferences. He discusses options and adjusts the plan as problems evolve.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as those details are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while working on family patterns and relationship skills.
