About Doyle
Doyle DeGraw is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family struggles, parenting concerns, and self-esteem problems. He also supports those dealing with eating and food-related issues and panic attacks.
Doyle draws on ten years as a licensed counselor plus many more years in pastoral roles. He uses a straightforward, direct communication style that aims to clear obstacles caused by fear and doubt. Sessions focus on practical tools as well as emotional understanding to make lasting change more possible.
He often links relational and family-of-origin issues to current problems. That means talking through early family patterns and identifying triggers that keep problems repeating. He works with people on fatherhood issues, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and life-purpose questions.
His approach combines Client-Centered principles with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based work, and he also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relevant. Therapy is collaborative and strength-based, with attention to coping skills and behavior change.
Doyle is comfortable addressing grief and ambiguous losses like job changes or evolving family roles. He helps people make clear plans to cope and move forward. Sessions emphasize practical steps and personal responsibility, matched to each person’s goals.
How these approaches guide online work
Doyle commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work helps people understand triggers and repair connection problems with others.Client-Centered Therapy is part of his practice too, which means sessions start from the person’s own goals. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows what matters most to the client while offering practical support.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and many stress-related concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and life demands and tailors methods together with the client. That collaborative planning helps pick techniques that fit your situation and values.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes. Doyle aims to shape sessions so they fit everyday life while working toward the goals you set together.
