Deborah DuPriest is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in New Mexico with 18 years of clinical experience.

She individualizes conversation and treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique circumstances and goals, drawing on proven therapeutic approaches to meet specific needs. Deborah emphasizes practical support and steady guidance, recognizing that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life takes courage and intention. She is available to support clients through that process and to collaborate on realistic steps toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Deborah DuPriest integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the person’s own goals and values guide the work. It helps with self-understanding, relationship concerns, and building emotional resilience. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skills training - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and addiction-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Deborah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from licensed professionals without rearranging daily life, and they allow therapy to continue when in-person visits are not feasible.
