She is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience and works from Oklahoma. Debbie focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier and more in control.

How Debbie works
She co-founded New Creation Counseling Center in 2001 and provided therapy across a four-state area. Much of her early work involved helping people affected by abuse and trauma, and she has a long history treating post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression. In 2012 she added certification in equine therapy through OK Corral to broaden options for clients.
In recent years she has supported people dealing with trafficking-related harm and has provided testing and therapy services in local school settings. Her style is practical and goal-oriented. She uses tools that help people change unhelpful thoughts and build small, useful habits to cope better day to day.
Sessions are focused on what a person needs now and what steps will help them move forward. Debbie sees counseling as a calling and continues this work to help people find hope, healing, and more stable routines. She combines years of experience with straightforward methods to address a wide range of concerns.

How Debbie’s Approaches Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new, more useful ways of thinking. It often includes simple exercises to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or anger. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical changes and building on what already works for a person. It focuses on goals and steps that create quick, achievable progress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. If an approach does not fit, adjustments are made together so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let the therapist see nonverbal cues and work through skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send quick updates, follow up on goals, or check progress between scheduled sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing other responsibilities.
