Debbie Harris , LPC

Debbie Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and co-owner of New Creation Counseling Center who continues to provide direct patient therapy in Oklahoma. With 25 years of experience, she brings a long-standing commitment to supporting individuals, children, and families through a wide range of concerns including trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, and behavioral challenges.

Her interest in counseling began during college when she felt a vocational calling while working at a Christian sports camp. She completed undergraduate studies in Psychology and Counseling at Southwest Baptist University and earned a master’s degree in Community Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy from John Brown University. In 2001 she co-founded New Creation Counseling Center, which provided services across Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri and partnered with children’s advocacy organizations to aid abused children and their families.

Debbie has an extensive background in trauma-informed care and related disorders and added a certification in Equine Therapy with OK Corral in 2012. In 2021 she began collaborating with a local school system to conduct special needs testing and offer therapeutic support to students. She also works with many young women who have been victims of sex trafficking. Debbie combines clinical training and practical experience with a ministry-minded dedication to helping people and families find hope and healing.

Practical Therapies and Online Support for Healing

Debbie Harris incorporates evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many trauma-related symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clients' strengths and practical strategies to set goals and build forward momentum, which can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, life transitions, and coping with specific problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. Debbie works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors interventions so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access care from home, to schedule sessions around work or family commitments, and to continue consistent treatment when travel or other demands arise. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide focused, goal-oriented support while respecting each person’s pace and readiness.
