About
As someone who has utilized counseling to overcome unforeseen adversities in my personal life, I have gained insightful perspectives to navigate challenging and exciting life circumstances by developing a growth mindset, effective coping skills, and a renewed sense of self.
As a licensed professional counselor, I have educational backgrounds in Sport & Exercise Psychology and Counseling Psychology from working with youth through professional athletes. I am a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment provider and am currently pursuing my Mental Performance Consulting certification. I have worked in private practice and community mental health with children, teens, and adults, addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and relationship conflicts. Currently, I work with individuals motivated to improve their mental performance, career development, financial psychology, identity, and wellness.
I enjoy helping clients identify their strengths, build confidence through thought-provoking questions and exercises, develop coping skills, and accept uncontrollable outcomes. I use mental performance strategies and positive psychology to build resilience and self-esteem so clients can craft new narratives and grow through difficult circumstances.
My goal is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can talk freely about your concerns and work through them to increase your well-being. You are showing positive steps by reaching out. I look forward to helping you find creative solutions, empowering your self-esteem, building new pathways of success, and sustaining meaningful purpose in your life.

As a woman who lived in a life full of trauma, I understand the difficulty of processing and the importance of discovering who you really are as a person.
Debra Konecni is a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with clients who have experienced a traumatic event — especially anyone who has experienced any type of child abuse or any type of sexual abuse. These are often individuals who have been hiding their hurts because they have been afraid to address the trauma, or do not know how to address the situation. Debra's goal is to assist each individual with working through the trauma and help them find their true self by believing in their story, giving them the opportunity to share their story sometimes for the first time. Everyone should have the option to work through hurts and not stay stuck in them — everyone should be given the opportunity to work all way to the other side and become a survivor instead of a victim.
Debra uses active listening, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). and schema therapy to help her clients. She also encourages journaling through their emotions to find their true selves. "Like the lotus flower, beauty coming out of the depth of mud; every individual could blossom out of a life of trauma, abuse, or just day-to-day frustrating moments that find them crippled or stuck in any way," says Debra. "Through the transforming and renewing of our minds, we do not have to repeat history or become the person someone tried to make us."
Through the process of addressing past hurts and trauma, it is Debra's goal and desire to empathize with individuals to reach their full potential in life. She has many years of experience rising out of the mud of her own lifelong trauma, which enables her to equip with hope and grace. "I welcome you into a safe haven to process through your hurts and struggles, to help you to strive and thrive," says Debra.

"If you are struggling with emotional or mental health difficulties, I invite you to seek out the experience of certified counselors, to assist you in overcoming these difficulties. Help is available," says Debbie

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Thanks to technological advancements, online counseling is a viable option today for those wishing to get help for mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. We spend more and more of our time online, from services like shopping and banking to even catching up with friends. Counseling services have followed this trend and allow you to speak to a licensed mental health professional without having to step foot outside your door.
At Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ, we don’t believe anything should stand in the way of getting the mental health services you need to achieve a healthier balance in your life. If you’re interested in online therapy, it’s easier than ever to get started.
You might be wondering how online therapy services compare to in-person, traditional therapy. Since therapy is largely based on communication between a client and a therapist, many clients find both types of therapy to be equally effective.
You can receive the following services online:
Virtual therapy isn’t just offered for individuals, either. If you’re looking for a marriage and family therapist and are trying to coordinate therapy with others, online therapy can be a much more convenient option.
If you’re facing a mental illness like anxiety or depression, it can be very difficult to take the first step towards getting help, even if you know it’s necessary. The thought of opening up about personal issues and experiences can be daunting enough, not to mention the idea of fighting traffic on a regular basis to get to your appointments. Some clients may simply be unable to visit in person due to transportation limitations, physical illness, or disability.
Virtual therapy takes much of the stress out of seeking help for mental health issues. Starting your session is as easy as opening a live video chat. Some people simply have an easier time opening up to a therapist when they are in a comfortable place like their home. Some clients find that therapy appointments by video chat allow them to create deeper relationships with their therapists than they would by phone calls alone. Psychiatrists and counselors also note that video chats allow them to see nonverbal communication cues to help them get a more complete picture.
At Thriveworks Counseling, we know your mental health is important. That’s why we offer same-week appointments for new clients, including hours in the evenings and on weekends to fit your busy schedule. Plus, when you work with Thriveworks, you can rest assured that your appointment really will start on time and you can take advantage of our flexible cancellation policy.
Mental health issues can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to handle this by yourself. Whether you prefer in-person therapy sessions or online appointments, our licensed professionals are ready to help at Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ.
