About Deborah
Deborah Tiger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She brings seven years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage trauma, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Her work centers on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about hard feelings and painful events.
Clients meet a therapist who listens closely and responds with practical tools. She uses grounded, straightforward methods to help people understand patterns and try different ways of coping.
How Deborah works
Sessions emphasize clear steps and small changes that add up over time. Deborah often combines acceptance-based methods with cognitive tools. She draws on mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice thoughts and reshape unhelpful stories about themselves.
This mix supports emotional regulation and builds more flexible ways of responding to stress. Many people come to her for help with grief, relationship stress, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, or work and career pressures. She also addresses concerns such as chronic illness, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness through practical strategies and gentle reflection.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person. Deborah helps people set realistic goals, test new skills between sessions, and track small gains. She focuses on what matters most to the individual and adjusts her methods as needed.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. In practice this means identifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those aims even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It often uses concrete exercises and homework to change how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and emphasizes empathetic listening and validation to help people find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Deborah works collaboratively to figure out what fits best with each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She will talk through options, try methods in session, and adjust the plan if something is not working well.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper discussion and skill practice. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief reflections, homework, or regular support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
