About Deborah
Deborah Gullatt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three decades of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and a wide range of other life challenges. Deborah uses practical, straightforward methods so people can manage day-to-day struggles more effectively.
She favors clear goal-setting in the first sessions. That means identifying a few specific things the client wants to change and planning steps to get there. Sessions focus on skills people can use between appointments - for handling hot moments, managing worry, or improving communication at work and home.
Deborah integrates Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive and behavioral tools. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies and mindfulness practices to help regulate strong emotions. Those approaches are used to address patterns like impulsivity, obsessive thoughts, or overwhelming anger.
Her work includes attention to attachment, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and the effects of trauma. Deborah also supports people dealing with grief, career concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and compulsive behaviors. The aim is practical change rather than labels or judgments.
She asks clients to be active partners in the process. Progress is framed in concrete steps and new behaviors you can try between sessions. If you want straightforward help with anger or mounting stress, she offers experienced clinical support grounded in problem-focused therapy and skills practice.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Deborah blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship so clients can identify what matters most to them. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. DBT offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive reactions.Deciding which approach to emphasize is collaborative. She will review your goals and preferences, try specific skills, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients often test out coping strategies between sessions and bring back what worked or didn’t for discussion.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online appointments make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. The focus remains on learning and practicing skills that can be used in everyday situations, whether sessions are a longer weekly meeting or a briefer check-in.
