About DeBora

DeBora Turpin, LPC helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, and life changes. She also supports those working through ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, bipolar disorder, and issues like grief, guilt, and obsessive thoughts. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Her approach centers on changing thought and breathing patterns that influence behavior. She works with clients to identify what they want and build a simple plan to reach those goals.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to give clear tools so clients can notice progress between appointments. DeBora uses several methods in her work, including cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness practices, hypnotherapy, Gottman Method techniques for relationship issues, and EMDR for trauma-related concerns. She blends these tools to match each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.

She draws on life experience as well as formal training. She has three years of professional experience and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC. DeBora also describes having navigated long-term marriage, parenting, and recovery from low self-worth, and she often uses that personal perspective when supporting clients.

Her style is direct, encouraging, and goal-oriented. She likes to see measurable change and helps people set a clear blueprint for progress. People who want practical skills, breathing techniques, and a plan to change habits may find her approach useful.

Online support

How her approaches work online

DeBora commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and focuses on skills you can use between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change habits.

She also offers EMDR, an approach often used for trauma and distressing memories. In EMDR, clients and the therapist use guided attention and processing to reduce the emotional impact of past events and improve daily functioning.

She uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple breathing and attention exercises that reduce stress in the moment and support longer term emotional regulation. These exercises are easy to practice during calls or between appointments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face when screen time fits their schedule. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text work well for quick updates, between-session support, or for people who prefer typing instead of speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
