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 in private and non-profit organizations, helping 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; 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 Monday through Thursday with 3 sessions on l Fridays. All appointments are after 12:00pm.
Sometimes my schedule will vary if I have personal matter that I have to take care of.

Reviews
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.
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!!!
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
