I work from a Narrative Therapy approach to counseling which is a helpful tool to assist clients to look at their lives critically and holistically and to process changes they want in their lives and relationships. I work collaboratively to unearth themes of problems AND strengths, strategies my clients have already attempted to work through their problems, strengthen self-identity and awareness, and explore desired life changes by breaking them into manageable tasks. I also work systemically with couples and families to build more supportive and connected relationships.

Now Accepting New Clients! As a pre-licensed professional I am up-to-date on therapeutic approaches and work collaboratively to support you! Coping with a severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) for the past 20+ years allowed me to experience both side of the counselor-counselee dynamic. I conduct honest, in-depth conversations that allows clients to feel at ease with the self-directed decision they make to bolster their personal, educational, or vocational pursuits. A diverse group of adolescents, adults, veterans, and those with disabilities will prosper from advice gained from one of our conversations.

We all experience difficulties, and at times it can be tough to sort through our thoughts and feelings alone. I believe that we all have patterns of reactions that arise in our thoughts and behaviors. Some of these patterns may be healthy and some unhealthy. I like to think of the therapeutic environment as a safe place to sort through what makes us, “us”. Within this environment we hope to become more aware of our patterns and decision making. With increased awareness we can make the decisions on what continues to work for us and what no longer serves us well.

I love the counseling profession. I feel privileged to be invited to share with others in their life journey. You may be at a point in your life where you need someone to support you as you strive to understand yourself or your relationships. You may want to make changes but don't know what you need or where to start. Together we can explore your needs, frustrations, and problems and make a plan to address those issues in a way that works for you.

I'm currently accepting new clients that desire to heal unresolved trauma. Have you experienced a life shattering event that changed the way you looked at yourself? Trauma impacts us in many ways & makes us feel disconnected from who we truly are and what we really want out of our lives. The World Health Organization recommends EMDR therapy as an effective treatment for trauma. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that uses bilateral stimulation to process traumatic events in a more adaptive manner & can alleviate symptoms of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, & other mental health conditions.

I believe as human beings we all need to feel a sense of hope and we all deserve support during challenging or stressful times. Selecting a therapist can feel overwhelming when we are struggling or feel lost. My approach is to meet you where you are, work together to determine what best meets your needs, and to collaboratively create a plan that helps you achieve your goals.
Debra Stoll
LPC, NCC, CEAT, EMDR
We are all born with purpose, meaning and the unique capacity to live abundantly. Yet, life stressors and other environmental factors create obstacles that seem to produce insurmountable barriers to achieving one's dreams of a happy and fulfilling life. Choosing a psychotherapist to help clear the obstacles out of the way is an important first step in discovering one's authentic self and living life purposefully. My approach to therapy is holistic, person-centered, trauma-informed, and depth oriented with the goal being authentic self-discovery.

Life gets messy and complicated. Struggling with the work/life/family balance can be managed by acknowledging the challenge and talking about it. Most clients struggle with some type of anxiety or depression. In the session, we start by working toward developing a coping skill "toolbox" and learning how to recognize when those symptoms start. Most clients want to feel heard and want to have strategies to use to help manage their symptoms. I also find that most clients want a person to listen, someone who is impartial, who can challenge but offer a perspective.

I believe in empowering a greater sense of responsibility so a person can manage and cope with life's trials and difficulties. If you are an individual struggling with depression or anxiety, a couple seeking a greater bond after some form of crisis, or a family in need of resolving various forms of conflict, then I am confident I can assist you. I also have done a lot of work with military veterans. I chose this line of work in mid-life. My other real life experience includes: a dairy farmer, a quality control inspector in manufacturing, a high school teacher, and an MCSE in the computer field. I know what it is like out there.

Life can be hard to navigate at times. I believe we can feel this way at any age; a child experiencing anxiety due to a tough divorce, a teenager coping with abuse, or an adult trying to move forward from past trauma that's keeping them stuck. I can help with that. I have over 18 years of experience and knowledge as a therapist. Much of my work focuses on assisting kids and families through difficult times, whatever their situation may be. I work with any issue that you feel is holding you up in life. My firm belief is that while therapy can be difficult, it can also be a pleasant and satisfying experience.

I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. Many people seek the support of therapy during times of conflict, as well as during periods of change. If you have noticed previously managed difficulties are more present throughout your day, therapy might be something positive to explore. Engaging in therapy can be helpful in regaining perspective and remembering what brings you peace and joy. During times of struggle, many often lose sight of the strengths and beautiful uniqueness that provides resiliency. My ideal client is ready to increase self awareness and personal insight through engaging in the therapeutic process.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
