About Deborah
Deborah DuPriest is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in New Mexico with 18 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, family problems, and trauma and abuse. She works directly with adults to talk through what is happening now and find clear steps to reduce distress.
She uses straightforward conversations to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions focus on learning practical skills, trying small behavior changes, and tracking what helps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the approaches she uses to notice unhelpful thinking and test more useful responses.
Deborah also draws on client-centered work to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her, and she uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotional regulation or impulsivity are concerns. For trauma-related problems she may use EMDR methods alongside other strategies when appropriate.
Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical practice in New Mexico settings. She often helps people manage addiction and substance-related concerns, address family of origin issues, and repair communication problems that strain relationships. She also supports people dealing with shame, guilt, isolation, or attachment difficulties.
People who work with her can expect practical goals, clear homework between sessions, and regular checks on progress. To get started she asks people to describe what they want to change, and then they make a plan together.
How Deborah integrates CBT and related methods for online work
Deborah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT sessions often include setting clear goals, practicing new behaviors between sessions, and tracking what changes. Client-Centered Therapy is used to keep the focus on the client's concerns and preferences, with the therapist following the person's lead and reflecting what matters most.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when emotional regulation, impulsivity, or intense reactions are a concern. DBT skills teach concrete ways to manage strong feelings, tolerate distress, and improve how someone manages relationships. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together; she will help clients and therapists decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences through joint discussion and early planning.
