DeBora Turpin, LPC

DeBora Turpin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and major life changes. She also supports people facing ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar symptoms, relationship and family concerns, and issues like obsessions or compulsions. Her style is goal-oriented and practical. Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between meetings.

Turpin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also incorporates EMDR and mindfulness when trauma or overwhelming emotions are part of the problem. The work often includes breathing and grounding exercises, thought restructuring, and behavior changes that feel achievable.

She aims to help clients identify what they want and build a roadmap to get there. That can mean small daily shifts or bigger life changes. She emphasizes results that match each person's goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her personal experience with family stress, childhood trauma, and long-term relationship life gives her a practical perspective on juggling work, parenting, and healing. She speaks from having rebuilt her life through education and steady effort, and she encourages clients to see their own strengths.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused. Clients who want clear tools, check-ins on progress, and an action plan may find her approach useful. She offers support for specific problems and longer-term coping strategies tailored to each person.

Approaches you can use online

CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions use guided exercises and homework to develop new routines, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

EMDR is used to address traumatic memories and the emotions tied to them. In an online setting the therapist guides gentle eye movements or alternate stimulation paired with focused memory work to reduce distress from past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, symptoms, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face work, phone sessions for lower bandwidth, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support between sessions. Those options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to use a format that feels most helpful.
