About Deborah
Deborah Tiger is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience. She focuses on trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, depression, and related challenges such as anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She aims for straightforward conversations where people can talk about painful events and current problems. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She listens for patterns in thoughts and behavior and works with each person to try practical ways to respond differently.
Deborah draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, narrative work, client-centered ways of relating, and mindfulness practices. Those methods are used to help people notice difficult thoughts, test unhelpful beliefs, and reconnect with what matters to them.
She also gives attention to specific concerns like blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, and feelings of abandonment or emptiness. The work often includes building coping skills, managing overwhelming emotions, and practicing new communication habits.
Sessions tend to be direct and practical. People who want clear steps, honest feedback, and strategies to manage symptoms may find this approach useful. To start, readers should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site’s steps to schedule an initial meeting.
Therapeutic approaches used and how online work fits
Deborah draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment ideas to guide her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Acceptance and commitment techniques help people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.She also uses client-centered and narrative elements to create straightforward, collaborative conversations. Client-centered methods emphasize listening and reflecting so a person’s own priorities lead the work. Narrative techniques look at the stories people tell about themselves and consider alternative, more helpful ways to frame past events and relationships.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches suit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats can also help when bandwidth or camera use are concerns, but ask about current choices when scheduling.
