Corporate Stress Management for Tech Teams | DebugStress by Dr. Melissa Jones

What We Do

Debugging software code is like hunting for gremlins - tiny, sneaky, often irrational bugs that cause chaos. Stress is similar: a cascade of emotional "errors" triggered by life's unexpected inputs. In both cases, you've got to slow down, isolate the root cause, and test out fixes patiently. And just like with code, ignoring the bugs only makes them messier later.

At DebugStress, we specialize in stress management uniquely tailored for the high functioning teams. Led by a therapist with two decades of experience supporting professionals across numerous Fortune 100 companies, we offer high-impact online group sessions that truly strengthen your team's well-being and long-term performance.

Our approach equips your team with practical, research-backed tools to recognize, regulate, and recover from stress. Through techniques like breathwork, grounding, and cognitive reframing, participants gain lifelong skills they can rely on - not just at work, but in every aspect of life.

By supporting employee well-being through targeted therapeutic services, we help companies see measurable results - reduced burnout and attrition, sharper focus, boosted productivity, and happier teams. The outcome? Better collaboration, better code, and fewer outages or service disruptions.

Why It Works

Science-backed therapeutic strategies
Our approach is grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and neuroscience - based stress reduction. Every technique we use has been rigorously studied and shown to improve emotional regulation, focus, and resilience - especially in high-performance environments like tech.

Proven to reduce stress-related absenteeism and turnover
Chronic stress is one of the leading causes of missed workdays and employee burnout. Our clients report measurable reductions in absenteeism and increased retention after just a few sessions, thanks to improved coping skills and a stronger sense of support.

Sessions build emotional intelligence and team cohesion
We don't just manage stress - we help teams grow together. Participants learn to recognize emotional patterns, communicate more effectively, and navigate conflict with greater empathy and clarity, leading to stronger collaboration and trust.

Practical tools employees use immediately - and long-term
Each session leaves your team with actionable strategies they can apply right away, from in-the-moment grounding exercises to long-term mindset shifts. These aren't theoretical ideas - they're tools your employees will actually use, day after day.

Flexible scheduling and remote delivery
We understand tech teams operate across time zones and intense schedules. That's why our sessions are available remotely and can be scheduled around your sprint cycles, product launches, or stand-ups - no commuting, no friction. Team members do not need to be in a private setting as they are not going to be speaking about detailed personal experiences.
