About Doyle
Doyle DeGraw is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey. He brings a decade of licensed counseling experience and many years of pastoral care to conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships, and parenting.
Doyle aims to help people move past fear, doubt, and limiting patterns so they can act with more intention and calm. He uses clear, direct communication and mixes practical tools with supportive reflection.
Background and approach
Sessions often include goal-setting, behavior-focused strategies, and attention to how early relationships shape current reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Doyle pays close attention to family history and attachment patterns.
He helps people look at family of origin influences and identify triggers linked to addictions, eating struggles, or relationship problems. That exploration is balanced with short-term, actionable steps to reduce symptoms like panic or overwhelming anxiety. Therapy here is collaborative and person-centered.
Clients set priorities and work toward specific changes while the therapist offers structure, feedback, and practical exercises. The approach also draws on principles from relationship work to improve communication and repair trust. People often come for help with grief, life transitions, fatherhood questions, or issues tied to guilt and shame.
Sessions are straightforward, focused on what you want to change, and geared toward building skills you can use outside of therapy.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people respond to stress and closeness. It helps when relationship patterns, family of origin issues, or attachment wounds keep repeating in adult life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and following the person's pace. This approach is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer, more useful ones; it is often chosen for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend a mix of methods. That plan can change as progress is made or priorities shift, and the client helps steer the direction of care.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer, in-depth sessions where visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a session needs to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins, homework review, or quick coaching between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
