About me

Hi! And welcome! Congratulations on taking the courageous first step toward improving your life by reaching out and sharing information about yourself! I understand counseling as a journey where I meet you where YOU ARE AT (mentally and emotionally) and then have the privilege of traveling with you on your journey of self-discovery. I use my skills to assist on the rocky patches in the road, and am ALWAYS encouraging, confirming, and celebrating YOUR SUCCESS. I create a space for you that is confidential, accepting, and non-judgmental.

I have a Ph. D. in Mental Health Counseling and am currently a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina. I also have a sub-specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have over 20 years of counseling experience, working with children, teens, and adults of all ages. The counseling modalities I use are Adlerian, Solution Focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral techniques, and a traumagenic approach. Issues for which I have provided therapy include: childhood abuse; childhood trauma resolution; questionning alcohol abuse; codependency; grief and loss; adult ADD; negotiating stressful life transitions, dealing with verbal aggression; conflict resolution; decision making; effective parenting skills; stressful family environments; and developing effective and lasting communication skills. I have also helped some of my clients resolve depression and anxiety which often are associated with the aforementioned issues.

My availability is currently Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with appointments starting at 11:15am through 5:30pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
This schedule will vary only if I have to attend to a matter that requires me to be offline/out of the office.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Deborah Gipple. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Dr. Gipple is an amazing listener who is able to dig into the deep layers of everything that I say to her or message her about. She is a great sounding board for me—someone I can to talk to who can give me objective feedback and help me grow and improve.

She is very easy to talk to. One of things I enjoy is that we get along so well, we could talk for hours. She is phenomenal...

Dr Gipple is simply wonderful! I feel safe with her, and have begun to truly heal under her guide and care. She really listens and has a keen way of relating my current experiences to my past experiences so that i can recognize (and shift) any thoughts and beliefs that are keeping me stuck. Invaluable skillset!

Dr. Gipple is wonderful at helping you process your emotions, create healthier patterns, set boundaries, and to advocate for yourself. She comes into sessions with a smile and a positive outlook. She's wise, she listens, and she shares powerful encouragement and advice when needed. I absolutely loved having her as my therapist!
