About Deborah

Deborah DuPriest is a licensed professional clinical counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, family conflict, and trauma. She brings 18 years of clinical experience and aims to create a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space for each person she meets. Deborah adapts conversations and treatment plans to what each person needs.

She listens to immediate concerns and helps set clear, manageable goals. Her approach balances practical skills with space to process painful experiences.

Background and approach

She uses therapies that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, existential ideas, and EMDR. Those methods can help with overwhelming anxiety, recurring patterns in relationships, and reactions tied to past trauma. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, building coping skills, and testing small changes between meetings.

For people dealing with addiction or impulsivity, Deborah helps identify triggers and safer choices. For family and relationship strains, she focuses on communication and understanding patterns. Her work often addresses difficult feelings like guilt, shame, abandonment, and isolation.

She also supports people navigating autism-related challenges, attachment issues, or personality-related concerns. Deborah practices in New Mexico as an NM LPCC and conducts sessions in English.

Online support

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Deborah blends client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR to address a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers; it’s useful for people who need understanding and space to explore feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, stress, and impulsive actions. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their history, current difficulties, and what they hope to change. Together they choose or blend methods so the plan fits the client’s goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying a single technique from the start.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer, deeper sessions. Phone can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into daily life.
