About Debra

LMFT in California with 40 years of experience, Debra Dupree focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. She uses a mindshift approach informed by neuroscience to help people develop practical skills and clearer ways of thinking. Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients.

Debra returned to study for a doctorate between 2012 and 2014 and integrates that work into her practice. She draws on neuroscience-based ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. The emphasis is on short-term skill building that aims to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning.

Her style centers on exploring thoughts and feelings together and teaching concrete strategies. She also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, social anxiety and phobia, women’s issues, and workplace problems. Sessions look at what’s getting in the way now and what small changes could make life easier.

Debra describes the therapeutic relationship as a space for honest conversation and practical work. She helps people move from stuck patterns toward clearer thinking and better coping. People who want direct, neuroscience-informed techniques and practical tools may find this approach useful.

Evidence-informed approaches in remote sessions

Debra uses a mindshift approach based on neuroscience to help people recognize and change unhelpful thinking patterns. This method focuses on practical techniques for shifting automatic thoughts and building new cognitive habits, which can reduce stress and make daily problems easier to handle.

She also works on skill-based strategies that teach concrete ways to manage anxiety and cope with life changes. These strategies often involve short exercises, focused practice, and clear steps people can try between sessions to test what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and decide which techniques to prioritize. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time as progress or new concerns appear.
