About Deborah
Deborah Tiger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about difficult moments. Deborah aims to support and empower clients who want to make changes in their lives.
Her approach begins with listening. She pays attention to each person's story and helps name what feels most urgent. Sessions use straightforward language and practical steps rather than jargon.
Background and approach
People leave with small, usable tools to try between meetings. Deborah commonly helps with trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting concerns, and relationship stress. She also addresses issues like burnout, compassion fatigue, caregiver strain, and problems tied to family of origin.
When complex symptoms appear, she works to break them into manageable pieces. Clinically she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods, mixing these to fit each person. Mindfulness and narrative ideas are part of her toolbox when helpful.
The focus is on what a person wants to change and how to get there. Her style is steady and practical. Deborah invites people to try small experiments and notice what helps.
She supports goal-setting and problem-solving while honoring each person's pace and values.

Online approaches that match your needs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values, even when hard feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding to reduce distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving space for each person to guide the pace and goals of work.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Deborah works with each person to see which methods feel most useful based on goals, values, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they try approaches, adjust them, and pick the mix that fits the person's life and preferences.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging fit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, or times when typing is easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity between appointments.
