About Deborah
Deborah Tiger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about stress, trauma, mood struggles, and relationship concerns. She aims to help people take practical steps toward feeling more grounded and able to manage daily life.
She uses narrative ideas to help people rewrite painful stories they tell about themselves. She also draws on acceptance and commitment work to help clients clarify values and take actions that matter to them.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral and client-centered methods are woven in to address unhelpful thoughts and boost coping skills. Sessions focus on clear, doable goals. Deborah listens for patterns that keep people stuck and offers small experiments to test different ways of responding.
She works at a steady pace so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming. Clients often bring trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, or career stress. Deborah also supports people facing burnout, compassion fatigue, chronic health burdens, and difficult family dynamics.
She pays attention to how past relationships influence current choices. The work is collaborative. Deborah helps people name problems, try new behaviors, and track what helps.
Her aim is practical improvement - feeling more in control, more connected, and better able to handle life’s ups and downs.

Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Deborah uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and make new meanings out of difficult experiences. This approach can be useful for trauma, ongoing relationship struggles, and feelings of emptiness because it focuses on how stories shape behavior and identity.She also blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used as well to identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking and acting.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Deborah works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Sessions are meant to be a team effort where the client’s aims guide the work.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging is good for ongoing brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care across life changes.
