Debbie Harris, LPC

Debbie Harris, LPC, helps people facing stress and anxiety along with a wide range of life challenges. She brings 25 years of counseling experience and a long history working with trauma, depression, and relationship struggles. Her work is grounded in practical, hands-on care that aims to steady daily life and rebuild hope.

She uses straightforward conversations to identify immediate problems and next steps. Sessions focus on clear goals and small changes that add up over time. Debbie often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to build on what already works for each person.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and counseling from Southwest Baptist University and a master’s degree in community counseling and marriage and family therapy from John Brown University. She co-founded New Creation Counseling Center in 2001 and spent years providing services to abused children and related advocacy groups across a four-state region. This work shaped her experience with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and severe anxiety.

Debbie has also worked with schools to support students with special needs and has provided therapy to young women affected by sex trafficking. In 2012 she completed a certification in equine therapy with OK Corral. Her practice in Oklahoma combines clinical skill with a commitment to helping people rebuild safety and purpose.

Her approach is direct and compassionate. She helps people set manageable goals, practice new coping skills, and track progress week to week. The focus is on useful tools that fit real life, not on labels or long lectures.

Approaches that help with stress and trauma online

Debbie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear goals and small steps, helping people build on what already works in their lives and move toward specific changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist and client talk about needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if something is not helping. This makes the process collaborative and focused on real outcomes that matter to the client.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It can allow shorter check-ins or sessions outside regular business hours, and it often makes regular weekly contact simpler to maintain. Licensed professionals tailor session rhythm and tools to fit daily routines and therapeutic goals.
