About Deborah
Deborah Tiger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress and supports those coping with trauma and abuse. Deborah keeps sessions straightforward and calm so people can talk without feeling judged.
She aims to make the first steps feel manageable. In sessions she listens closely and helps clients name what is most distressing. Then she works with them to try small, practical changes they can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Deborah draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding.
Mindfulness and client-centered work shape the way she meets clients in the room. Those methods help slow down intense feelings and keep conversations focused on what the client wants to change. Narrative ideas are used when telling one’s story helps make sense of painful events.
People contact Deborah for help with grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, work pressure, mood challenges, and issues related to identity and self-worth. She also supports those managing caregiver fatigue, chronic illness impacts, and first responder stress. Sessions are offered in English and through online formats to fit different schedules.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Deborah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT often helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful action rather than fighting unwanted thoughts.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking that keep anxiety or low mood going. CBT breaks those patterns into smaller parts so people can test new ways of thinking and behaving and see practical results.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Deborah will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then choose methods that fit. The plan can change as needs shift, and she treats the process as a collaboration rather than a fixed formula.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text can be a shorter check-in or a way to stay connected between longer appointments. These options make it easier to get consistent support without major travel or time off work.
