About Deborah
Deborah Tiger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with seven years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, and issues connected to identity and life transitions.
She works in a conversational, client-centered way that focuses on what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions are a place to talk through thoughts and feelings and to name the patterns that keep showing up. Deborah uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, narrative approaches, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful habits and try new options.
Many clients who seek her out are noticing patterns that stem from their family of origin, such as roles, expectations, or communication problems. She helps people identify those patterns and consider how they affect current relationships and choices. The work often includes exploring grief, guilt, shame, abandonment, or chronic stress connected to caregiving or health concerns.
Deborah also supports people facing challenges like bipolar mood concerns, dissociation, anger, and struggles with self-esteem or career direction. She uses straightforward tools to manage symptoms and build coping skills while also addressing underlying stories and meanings.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach. Conversations aim to increase clarity about values, reduce unhelpful thinking, and practice concrete skills for everyday life. To start, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions
Deborah commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and taking small, values-driven steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses Client-Centered techniques, which prioritize listening and responding to each person's concerns. Together the therapist and client decide which approaches to try, adjusting methods based on the client's goals and preferences so treatment fits real life.r>
