About Debra
Debra Vaughan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eleven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and the strain of life changes. Her work also includes concerns like addiction, ADHD, self-esteem, and issues around intimacy and relationships.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Debra listens first to understand a person's daily struggles. Then she helps set small, clear goals and practices techniques together that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused methods when they fit a person’s needs. That mix allows her to tailor conversations and exercises to each situation.
Debra has treated people facing trauma and abuse, and has experience with mood disorders and addictive behaviors. She emphasizes building self-compassion and realistic coping skills so people can manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions cover practical steps like identifying triggers, practicing new ways to respond to stress, and creating routines that support sleeping and eating.
Debra aims to make therapy useful and manageable, with tools people can use outside sessions.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy begins by focusing on the person's own goals and perspective. It involves reflective listening and building a trusting relationship so people can speak freely about what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises and homework. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management because it teaches concrete skills for day-to-day use. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings skills for handling intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness; it can be helpful when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Debra will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those aims. She adapts tools from these approaches to match the person's needs, preferences, and pace so therapy stays practical and focused.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and ongoing coaching when a full session isn't needed.
