About Deborah
Deborah Tiger is an LPC practicing in Oklahoma who brings seven years of clinical experience to her work with people facing trauma, mood concerns, stress, and relationship difficulties.
Background and approach
She focuses on helping clients process painful experiences such as abuse and grief while supporting growth in areas like self-esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes. Deborah emphasizes practical strategies alongside compassionate listening to help clients navigate depression, bipolar challenges, and a range of emotional and interpersonal struggles.
Her approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-informed practices. Deborah aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and develop skills tailored to their goals.
She encourages clients to take gradual steps toward a more fulfilling life and offers support for issues that also include career concerns, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and complex family dynamics. Her practice also addresses additional focus areas such as chronic illness and disability, communication problems, dissociation, and forgiveness work.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Deborah integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy into online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress through structured skill-building and practical exercises. Acceptance and commitment therapy emphasizes values-based action and learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, supporting clients facing trauma, grief, or life transitions by encouraging meaningful steps even amid discomfort.Finding the right approach is framed as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and then recommend strategies or combine methods that best fit the situation. This collaboration helps tailor interventions so that therapy feels relevant and manageable for the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for how people prefer to engage. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy weeks or when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing licensed professionals to guide skill practice, reflection, and progress remotely.
