About Debra

Debra Vaughan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She brings 11 years of experience helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or life changes. She uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions.

Conversations start with what matters most to the client. Debra listens closely and helps people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and relationships so they can try different approaches to change what isn’t working.

Background and approach

Her work draws on Narrative Therapy to separate a person from their problems and rewrite painful stories. She also uses Client-Centered methods to keep sessions collaborative and paced to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are added when clients want practical tools for mood, sleep, or worry.

Debra has supported people coping with addiction, ADHD, grief, parenting stress, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping concerns, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She also helps clients focus on self-love and rebuilding day-to-day routines after difficult events. Sessions may include goal-setting, skill practice, and reviewing small changes between meetings.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Debra directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and focused approaches work online

Debra often uses Narrative Therapy to help clients tell their stories differently, separating problems from who they are so new choices feel possible. Narrative work can be useful for grief, trauma, relationship patterns, and rebuilding self-worth. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her approach and emphasizes a warm, listening stance where the client's goals guide each session. This helps people set the pace and focus on what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used alongside these methods, provides clear tools for managing worry, sleep, mood shifts, and unhelpful thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Debra will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to change. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or challenges appear. That collaborative process keeps work focused and practical.

Online sessions make this flexible. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, coaching-style check-ins, or ongoing support between meetings. These options help fit therapy into work, school, or busy family routines.
