About Debbie
Debbie Harris is an LPC with 25 years of clinical experience who focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and issues such as parenting, sleep, and eating concerns.
Background and approach
She approaches care with practical, goal-oriented methods that support coping with life changes, managing anger, improving self-esteem, and addressing compassion fatigue or caregiver stress. Debbie also lists work around ADHD, bipolar, intimacy-related issues, career questions, and seasonal affective disorder among her practice areas.
Her professional path includes an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Counseling and a master’s degree in Community Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy. She co-founded New Creation Counseling Center in 2001 and has worked across the region with abused children and their families, partnering with children’s advocacy groups.
Her background includes treating PTSD and complex trauma, and in 2012 she added certification in Equine Therapy through OK Corral. Debbie later expanded services into school-based testing and therapy and continues to serve clients in Oklahoma.
Her practice blends evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with solution-focused strategies to help clients pursue meaningful change.
Using Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' strengths and goals, helping to create small, achievable steps toward change and emphasizing what is already working in a person’s life.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to explore which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt techniques over time so the plan remains useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care from home or work. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver core, skills-based treatments and solution-oriented work in formats that suit a client’s routine and access needs.
