Deborah Tiger, LPC

Deborah Tiger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She has seven years of experience helping people who are overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her approach centers on steady support and practical tools that people can use between sessions.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about pain, grief, or confusion. Deborah listens closely and helps clarify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps toward clearer thinking and more manageable days.

Deborah uses a mix of cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance and commitment ideas to address unhelpful thinking and build values-driven action. She also draws on client-centered and narrative approaches to help people make sense of life stories and find new perspectives. Mindfulness skills are used when breathing and grounding help someone feel steadier.

Typical concerns she supports include trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship problems, self-esteem struggles, and career distress. Additional areas of focus include chronic illness and caregiver stress, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment.

Her style is practical and compassionate. She helps people break big problems into smaller steps and practices concrete skills in sessions. Working with Deborah is framed as a collaborative process aimed at clearer thinking and more workable daily routines.

How Deborah’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Deborah commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test more balanced ideas; this often includes homework and concrete exercises that fit well with online sessions. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people notice difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and actions that matter most. Client-centered work is part of her practice too, offering a listening stance that validates experience and helps clients find their own solutions.

Finding the right mix is a team effort. Deborah will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change. That collaborative process helps match techniques to real-life challenges.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow for a fuller sense of connection when schedules permit. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or fit a short session into a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to keep up with.
