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.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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...
I don’t care for reviews. But, Dr Gipple is great!
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!
Dr. Gippie has helped shape a healthier self perspective for me. Her kindness and honesty are truly one of a kind
As someone who has struggled immensely with mental health challenges I have found hope again while working with Dr Gipple. She is clinically skilled, and more importantly (for me) she strikes a wonderful balance of empathy, warmth, kindness, and moxie. Our sessions are dynamic and flow with my needs. She has been a great fit for me.
She has been the absolute best! She is very responsive, understanding, helpful, and insightful. She’s also hilarious! I adore her and always look forward to our sessions
Dr. Gipple is such a thoughtful, caring, and encouraging therapist. I have been so honored to receive her guidance and support as I dive into therapy for the first time as an adult. Dr. Gipple has made this process a smooth one and has assisted me in changing my thought patterns, working through past trauma, and connecting with myself on a deeper level too. Highly reccomend!
She wants me to get better and pushes me to see the things I can do to improve my life.
Deborah makes me feel heard and helps me unpack my thoughts and feelings in a way that really helps me empathize with myself.
Dr. Gipple has been a gift and has helped me so much in our short amount of time working together.
Dr. Gipple is a saint. She has been able to translate all my hurts and traumas and emotions and ramblings and speak to each in such a way that is calming and reassuring. With Dr. G, I have been able to make so much progress and healing. I am so grateful for her time and care. The impact having her has my therapist has been life changing. Forever grateful to Dr. Gipple! She is the best!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Dr. Gipple really does work hard to help me through the emotional struggles of life and is very supportive!
Dr Gipple is thorough and listens . She gives good feedback and is helping me greatly
Dr Gipple is awesome! She has helped me get through what has been the worst few years of my life. I don't know that I would be ok, if it wasn't for her help!
Dr Gipple is kind, nonjudgmental and incredibly intelligent
Dr. Gipple is the best of the best! She made me feel extremely comfortable from the minute I met her, and since then has helped me tremendously. She's taught me a lot about myself, and has helped me feel at ease about the things I used to stress about. She's quick to respond to any messages, and always reminds you that she's there for you, even in-between sessions. She's not afraid to speak her mind and give you the honest truth, but she also does it with empathy, and sometimes even a dash of humor. I'm so thankful I got matched with her, as she helped me make a huge amount of progress in just a few months. Thank you for everything Dr. Gipple! :)
Deborah makes me feel safe and heard. She is direct and truthful with me without judgement. She has helped me change my mindset about myself.
Dr. Gipple has proven to be extremely knowledgeable and is not only a great listener and someone easy to connect to, but gives me concrete tools that help with specific goals. I enjoy our sessions but am also pleased with how they challenge me and my life. She has helped me reach areas of my life that I didn’t even know I could get to.
Very easy to talk to, and provides relatable tools to cope with my struggles. I highly recommend her.
Dr Gipple has been amazing at uncovering root causes of anger, anxiety, depression, and much more. Im so thankful that I tried therapy with her before starting drug therapy. She’s insightful and a thoughtful listener. Highly recommended.
Wonderful listener, very helpful!
I’ve come such a long way, thanks to Dr. Gipple. Her expertise, compassion and really breaking down everything to where I can understand the why and the what, as well as the tools to cope or get better are wonderful. She’s caring and warm and I wish I had her years ago. I highly recommend Deborah!
Deborah is very intelligent and kind person. She listened to what I was sharing very attentively and made notes often. I felt supported, heard and validated. She is a wonderful person to rely on and her expertise level is high. I recommend her to anyone who seek support. Thank you Deborah!
I love Dr Gipple! She is so nice and extremely helpful! She has helped me cope with my mom's passing more than anyone else I've spoken to!!
Dr. Gipple is the kindest lady! She really has helped me out tremendously at a point in my life when I was so down on myself. She never judged me and always made me feel understood. Her great attitude allowed me to feel comfortable enough to open up. I am very glad I gave therapy a chance because I am a better person for it and I'm excited about my future! Thank you Dr. Gipple for always encouraging me and being so honest and caring. I am grateful to have had you as my therapist. :)
Love her!
Dr. G has helped me so much in even a short time. Her approach is personable but also no-nonsense, which is exactly what I need. She’s also very funny, and well-versed in so many different techniques and coping skills. I really appreciate her time and what she has pointed out to me thus far. Thank you, Dr. G!
I know Dr gipple has strong understanding what issues are in only 2 sessions
I have looked for a therapist that I can speak my mind with, who actually understands and let’s me know that she understands and is available and responsive. Dr Gipple has been all of that. It’s been nice to feel connected.
This is my third session and I look forward to continue this journey with her. I like that she used different resources to help. She’s to the point. I feel understood. I 100% recommend her.
Dr. Gipple is friendly and easy to talk to. She listens well and gives excellent advice and plenty of encouragement. She helped me reach my goals in a timely fashion. I’m much more comfortable in my own skin now.
Dr. Gipple has been fantastic for me and my therapy journey. She is quick to respond, honest yet caring, compassionate, and truly looks out for my best interests.
Dr. Gipple is very knowldgeable and helpful.
She has been very consistent
Dr. Gipple helped me out so much in the five months I had the pleasure of working with her. I wish I could keep seeing her, but I have to take a lateral step in my therapy journey. You are the best, Dr. Gipple!
Dr. Gipple has been a great therapist, I appreciate her support and trust her professionalism.
Dr. Gibble is very knowledgeable and has helped me identify boundaries and how i can be assertive. She is very kind and helpful. I've enjoyed my sessions and they have helped me.
Dr. Gipple is amazing. She has helped me tackle my anxiety with different methods. She is a great listener and guides in situations where I feel the most vulnerable.
Dr. Gipple has helped me a lot since day one. I have had therapy in the past but was not very successful, and this time I needed someone that would make connections between my thoughts now, my past experiences and causes/reasons, etc. And at the same time, that would give me “homework” or teach me how to be/act better in specific situations. She actually made me realize something really important on day one, and after that, she has been amazing. She has a lot of experience, and she asks the right questions to get to the key matters. She always answers my messages in a timely manner and I can’t be happier. I know that she’s there for me. Healing and growing takes time, the magic does not always happen at the beginning of therapy, but I’m making progress quickly because she is helping a lot.
Definitely knowledgable in her field which helped, extremely helpful, and very friendly.
Wonderful! I feel heard and her advice has helped calmed my anxiety greatly.
Dr. Gipple is amazing however the BetterHelp platform leaves a lot to be desired as far as video conferencing.
Dr. Gipple is an angel from God. She listens and supports and feels the pain I’m going through and she lends me confidence in the moments I can’t find it myself. The things I’m going through are really tough to sort out in my mind and she is very patient, yet strong, and helps me feel confident in standing up for myself. She is the real deal.
I have had therapists and the past, and while they weren’t necessarily bad, Dr. Gipple has helped me through my issues and helped me realize the most about myself, if I didn’t have her as a therapist at this time and life I’m not sure what I would have done. She listens to your concerns and is very understanding and gives great feedback and support.
I am so relieved to have Dr. Gipple in my life. She is warm and funny but also to the point when she sees a topic that really needs further examining. She's helping me through a very hard season and I'm grateful to have her guidance and expertise.
I had four sessions with Dr. Gipple and she was truly amazing. She made me feel so heard and validated while helping me with a tough issue I was facing. She worked with me on how exactly to have clear and effective communication with loved ones and gave me the tools to clearly state my feelings and needs. I feel very prepared for future problems I may face in the future after help from Dr. Gipple.
I have done two sessions now with Dr. Gipple. She is so understanding, encouraging, and is really helping me to dig to the roots of my problems. I am so motivated to look after my mental health because of her, and I feel like her expertise shines through in everything we discuss. She has been extremely caring and helpful.
Brilliant!!!
Deborah is the kind of person that makes you feel heard. She really really listens, remembers the details, and asks the right follow up questions that challenge your views. I feel very supported and grateful to have her counsel me in a thoughtful and constructive manner as I address issues in my life.
Well where do I start, Dr Gipple is very warm, friendly and easy to chat with. She makes you feel at ease as soon as you meet her. I felt that by being open with her made our meetings run smoothly and she has the best advice that you could ask for. I would highly recommend for anyone to choose Dr Gipple. She's a real asset to Betterhelp. I can't thank her enough for the help she has given me. I'm like a new person and it's all down to her.
So, so helpful and very committed. I’m very grateful for her help and availability.
Dr. Gipple is a great Counselor as she makes follow-up with me before and after our sessions.
It's been only a couple sessions with Dr. Gipple and already it's been a pleasure to be have her as counselor. She's very attentive and truly listens. I am learning to see things differently and to have a more positive approach to challenging situations
