About Deborah

Dr. Deborah Gipple welcomes people seeking support for stress, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, mood challenges, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

With a warm, accepting stance she meets clients where they are and partners with them to navigate difficult moments, celebrate progress, and build practical coping skills. She brings 23 years of clinical experience and holds the LCMHC credential in North Carolina (NC LCMHC 6466).

Her practice blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques, and she applies trauma-focused strategies when addressing histories of abuse or overwhelming life events. Dr.

Gipple has worked with children, teens, and adults and draws on a broad background that includes addressing attachment and family of origin issues, codependency, dissociation, addictions, and concerns common to young adults and women.

Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to accommodate different needs and schedules, and she frames therapy as a collaborative journey tailored to each person's goals and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Gipple frequently draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported as they identify goals and make changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps people recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. She views treatment as a collaborative process and will help determine which methods best match a client's concerns, strengths, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, accommodate varied routines, and try different communication formats to discover what supports therapeutic progress best.
