About Debra
Debra Vaughan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 11 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges. She also supports those managing addictions, ADHD, mood concerns, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She listens first and helps people set clear goals. Sessions emphasize skills that can be used at home and strategies to ease everyday strain. She draws on several therapy styles to match a person's needs and preferences.
Debra has worked with children who have experienced trauma and abuse, adolescents, and adults with addictive behaviors. She partners with parents navigating the demands of raising children. Her background includes community and clinical work in Oklahoma across a variety of presenting concerns.
In sessions she uses techniques from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy. That mix lets her combine symptom-focused tools with conversations that clarify values and goals. She also incorporates coaching elements and a focus on self-love when helpful.
People who choose Debra can expect straightforward, compassionate conversation and practical next steps after each meeting. She works in English and accepts international clients. To book, follow the Start Therapy process and schedule according to availability.
How these approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's pace. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Debra will talk with each person about goals, challenges, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust plans as progress is made. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to real-life demands and personal preferences.
If you prefer remote sessions, confirm available formats before booking since the biography does not list specific session types. Online therapy can still make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins on tough days. It also opens access to licensed professionals when local options are limited. Discuss scheduling needs and technical preferences during the intake so sessions can fit your routine.
