About Debra

Debra Vaughan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of challenges.

Background and approach

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictive behaviors, mood disorders such as bipolar, and ADHD, as well as concerns around relationships, parenting, grief, self-esteem, intimacy, and career changes. Her work also includes helping clients explore self-love and manage compassion fatigue.

Vaughan emphasizes partnering with clients to identify emotional and behavioral needs and to build practical strategies for everyday life. She draws on client-centered principles to create collaborative, empathic sessions and uses evidence-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address difficult thoughts, emotions, and patterns.

Solution-focused and narrative techniques are woven into treatment to help clients clarify goals, reframe experiences, and develop actionable steps toward change. Clients can expect a therapist who balances warmth and practical skill building, offering support for both immediate concerns and longer-term growth.

Debra adapts her approach to each person’s situation and priorities while maintaining a focus on workable strategies for coping, communication, and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Debra often integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship and helping clients explore their own values and goals, which is useful for self-esteem, relationship issues, and personal growth. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers concrete strategies to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, making it effective for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Debra collaborates with each person to determine what fits best. She will listen to goals and preferences, then recommend a combination of methods and adjust them over time so treatment stays relevant to evolving needs.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds practical flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication styles. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and choose the way they feel most comfortable engaging in therapy.
