About DeBora
DeBora Turpin, LPC, helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, addiction, ADHD, trauma, and major life changes. She focuses on clear goals and practical steps so clients can move from feeling stuck to feeling more in control.
Background and approach
Her approach is results-oriented and approachable for people who want real change. She uses a mix of methods to change thinking and emotional patterns that influence behavior.
Sessions can include skills for breathing and mindfulness, strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy, and exercises drawn from the Gottman Method for improving connection. EMDR and hypnotherapy are also part of her toolbox when those methods fit a person’s needs.
DeBora draws on both professional training and life experience. She has three years of clinical experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential.
She lives and practices in Oklahoma and speaks English. She describes therapy as collaborative and practical.
That means identifying what a person wants, breaking that goal into small steps, and tracking progress along the way. Sessions often focus on changing thought patterns, building coping skills, and practicing new ways of responding to stress and relationship struggles.
Her personal story informs her work. She has long-term family experience and understands the pressures of parenting, work, and healing from childhood wounds.
People who want a straightforward plan and encouragement to try new behaviors may find this approach helpful.
Approaches that guide online sessions
DeBora often uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and communication problems by helping people learn specific exercises and conversation skills that reduce conflict and build connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change mood and behavior. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, can be used to help process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact when those techniques seem appropriate.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means trying an approach, checking how it’s going, and adjusting the plan together as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people practice skills and read nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and simpler to join during a break. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, scheduling, and continuing work between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible for different schedules and needs.
