About Deborah
Deborah DuPriest is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico who uses a practical, person-focused approach to help with anxiety and stress. She draws on 18 years of experience to listen, ask useful questions, and help people find clearer ways forward. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at making small changes feel possible over time.
She uses methods that match each person's needs rather than one fixed plan.
Background and approach
Sessions may focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, building emotion regulation skills, or working through painful memories when needed. Deborah adapts the pace so people feel steady and understood. Common concerns she supports include anxiety, stress, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and family problems.
She also addresses issues such as codependency, attachment concerns, impulsivity, isolation, and guilt or shame. The work often includes practical tools people can use between sessions. Deborah explains things in plain language and helps people set realistic goals.
She respects each person’s history and personal values while offering ways to try different coping strategies. Over time the focus is on clearer choices and better daily functioning. People meet by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Deborah will work with each person to shape a plan, schedule sessions, and adjust the approach as needs change.
How Deborah’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy
Deborah combines client-centered work with targeted skills-based methods. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a respectful, collaborative relationship. That helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and gives clear steps to try different responses to anxiety and stress. DBT - Dialectical Behavior Therapy - teaches practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for strong emotions and impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Deborah will talk with each person about goals and try methods that match those goals. She tailors sessions and adjusts techniques over time so the plan fits the person's needs and pace. This is a collaborative process where feedback helps guide which strategies continue.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet the same therapeutic goals. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and EMDR-style processing when appropriate. Phone sessions are useful for check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, between-session coaching, or ongoing tracking of progress. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
