About Debra
Debra "Debbie" Briggs is a licensed mental health counselor with 14 years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. She also supports clients coping with low self-esteem and ADHD. She meets people where they are and encourages small steps that build momentum.
Her sessions focus on practical tools and steady listening. She uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and calm their nervous system. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals.
Debbie has worked with people affected by sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and family of origin issues. She pays attention to how early attachment and abandonment experiences shape current relationships. She will help a person untangle patterns such as codependency, communication problems, or impulsivity.
She aims to create a collaborative atmosphere where clients are treated as the expert on their own lives. Sessions can include mindfulness exercises, skills practice, and talking through concrete steps for problem solving. She often integrates trauma-focused methods when past harm affects daily functioning.
Debbie speaks English and Spanish and practices in Washington. She emphasizes practical change, steady support, and building hope. If someone wants to explore coping strategies, improve relationships, or work through past trauma, she offers a clear, down-to-earth approach.
