About Deborah
Deborah Tiger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She has seven years of experience in mental health and focuses on helping people manage trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Deborah aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings.
She works with people facing grief, parenting strain, relationship challenges, and career-related stress. Deborah also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver fatigue, and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes attention to complex issues like dissociation, emptiness, and problems rooted in family of origin.
Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She uses mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns, reframe experiences, and build workable coping steps. Sessions focus on practical next steps and clear goals rather than abstract theory.
Deborah emphasizes collaboration and respect. She helps people identify values, set manageable goals, and practice skills between sessions. The aim is steady progress toward a more manageable daily life and clearer sense of direction.
People who value a direct yet compassionate approach often find her style helpful. Conversations are straightforward, and homework is practical. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect a person with a session time.
Approaches that guide online work
Deborah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values, often helping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the client's experience and supports self-directed growth through empathic listening and reflection. Each approach is presented in plain terms during early sessions so clients can choose what feels right.
Finding the best fit is part of the process. Deborah works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjust strategies as progress is tracked.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use video or phone in different ways to support steady progress, and Deborah will discuss practical scheduling and session length when you connect.
