Great to meet you!

My name is Debi Vir and I am the founder and owner of Blue Sky Counseling. I am a graduate of UCLA and Pepperdine University and have been in the field for over 20 years. I work with children (7 and up), adolescents, and adults with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting challenges, life transitions, grief/loss, trauma/PTSD, and more. I am a Certified Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional, Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, and Maryland Board Approved Supervisor.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have a collaborative approach and provide therapy that fits each individual's needs, strengths, and goals. I utilize various treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. I help clients to evaluate and change their thoughts in order to better cope with triggers, improve their mood, change unhelpful behaviors, and enhance relationships with themselves and others.

What you can expect from our first session

I honor and respect where each client is at in their life journey and utilize the modalities that best suit their needs in an open, non judgemental space that provides empathy and a place to feel empowered to reach goals. I believe that by creating a safe space to feel heard, understood, and supported, we can work together to enhance self-awareness, acceptance, and adaptability so that you can work through and cope with issues that impact your life. I look forward to meeting you!
