About Deborah
Deborah Tiger is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and related struggles such as relationship problems and parenting concerns. Deborah also addresses issues connected to guilt and shame, grief, stress, and burnout from caregiving or first responder roles.
Her approach stays practical and conversational. She listens to what matters to each person and uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help untangle painful thoughts and patterns. Mindfulness and narrative work are part of how she helps people notice unhelpful habits and tell clearer, less hurtful stories about themselves.
Sessions focus on small, doable steps. That might mean trying an exercise to shift a thought, practicing a grounding skill, or looking at how past experiences shape current reactions. Deborah favors a client-centered way of working, which means she follows the concerns you bring and adjusts methods as you go.
People come to her for a range of issues beyond trauma, including self-esteem, anger, career stress, and coping with life changes. She also supports those managing chronic illness, dissociation, or struggles tied to family of origin and abandonment.
Her work is straightforward and paced to what each person can handle. To begin, readers should use the site's matching steps to choose an online therapy option and schedule an initial meeting.
How Deborah uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Deborah draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values, which can be useful when guilt or avoidance get in the way. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to test and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.She also uses client-centered and narrative techniques to give people space to tell their story. That means she collaborates with each person to choose which tools to try and adjusts methods based on how things are going. Finding the right approach is part of the first few sessions and is decided together, based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. Therapists use video and phone in general practice for different reasons - quieter surroundings, less bandwidth, or a simpler way to connect - and Deborah will discuss what fits your life when you schedule the first meeting.
