About Deborah
LPCC Deborah DuPriest is a New Mexico LPCC with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, and trauma and abuse. Sessions are conducted in English and her practice is based in New Mexico.
DuPriest uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also draws on existential ideas and EMDR when appropriate. In sessions she listens to what matters most to the person and shapes the conversation around their immediate concerns.
Her work often focuses on how past family relationships affect current behavior. She helps people name patterns such as codependency, attachment struggles, impulsivity, isolation, and issues tied to family of origin. Practical skills and clearer communication are regular parts of the work.
For people coping with substance use or addictive behaviors she brings a direct, problem-solving focus that connects urges and triggers to day-to-day routines. For trauma and abuse, she may incorporate processing tools alongside grounding and emotion regulation strategies.
Deborah aims to match methods to what each person needs. She asks about goals and what has or hasn't helped before setting a plan. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach emphasize open conversation, identifying goals, and shaping sessions around immediate problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into concrete steps. In remote sessions CBT can include homework, thought records, and short behavioral experiments to practice between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Online DBT work often focuses on specific skills practice, crisis coping strategies, and tracking progress over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, life demands, and what methods feel workable. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills training, processing, or a mix of approaches.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Therapists generally adapt exercises and homework to fit remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
