About Deborah
Deborah DuPriest is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in New Mexico with 18 years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, family conflict, and trauma and abuse. Deborah lists codependency among her focus areas and often sees related issues such as attachment concerns, communication problems, and feelings of isolation.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps. Deborah uses methods that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, existential reflections, and EMDR when appropriate. She explains ideas plainly and helps people try small changes between sessions.
Deborah has supported people dealing with family of origin struggles, substance and alcohol problems, guilt and shame, and abandonment wounds. She also notes experience with ADHD spectrum issues such as autism and Asperger Syndrome and with personality-related challenges like dependent and antisocial patterns. Her work often addresses how relationship dynamics affect daily functioning.
People who want a straightforward, collaborative approach will find sessions that mix talk therapy with skill practice. She frames the work as deciding together what helps and then testing it in real life. Practical problem solving and emotional processing both show up in her sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the LPCC scope in New Mexico. If you want to begin, follow the site's steps to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
Working online with Deborah's approaches
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify their own goals and values. It helps when someone feels lost or unsure about what they want in relationships or life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage urges related to substance use, and change unhelpful reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with impulsivity and relationship conflict.Choosing a therapeutic approach is something Deborah does together with each person. She will discuss what feels useful, try methods in session, and adjust based on how the work goes. That collaborative process helps match techniques to a person's goals and daily realities.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also use less bandwidth or let someone keep the camera off for a lower-key meeting. Ask about the current session options and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
