About Deborah
Deborah Gullatt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and help with parenting and self-esteem issues.
She supports people dealing with grief, career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and major life changes. Blended family issues and attachment concerns are listed among her focus areas. Other topics she addresses include caregiver stress, control issues, domestic violence, and compulsive behaviors.
Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and mindfulness practices. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and trying practical skills to reduce distress. She aims to help clients notice what changes make daily life easier and more manageable.
Deborah emphasizes direct, respectful collaboration on goals and next steps. She uses straightforward tools from CBT and DBT when helpful, along with mindful skills to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. Progress looks different for everyone, and she adjusts the focus as needs evolve.
Most people begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to get started. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.
How Deborah's approaches fit with online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and letting the client set goals. It helps people who need a respectful, collaborative therapist for navigating relationship and family strains.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to parenting or blended household demands.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide whether client-centered conversation, CBT skill work, or DBT-style coping skills fit best. That choice is collaborative and may shift as goals change.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting a person join without being on camera if they prefer. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT worksheets, DBT skill practice, and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions to keep therapy practical and focused.
