About Deborah
Deborah Tommey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults 20 and older on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and caregiving challenges.
She sees clients as individuals and looks for the right method to address each problem. Sessions are conversational and straightforward. She asks what change the client wants and then chooses approaches that fit that goal.
Deborah uses person-centered methods alongside solution-focused and existential ideas. She includes mindfulness techniques when they help someone manage intense feelings. That mix is aimed at practical coping, clearer choices, and recognizing personal meaning.
She has experience running support groups and training other professionals on behavioral health topics. She also brings knowledge about aging and caregiver stress into sessions when it is relevant to a client's situation.
Deborah offers phone and video counseling and uses messaging for between-session check-ins. If a specific session format matters to you, confirm the current options before booking. Her approach is steady and practical, aimed at helping people manage anger, stressful life changes, and daily demands.
How sessions work
How Deborah’s approaches translate to online work
Deborah frequently blends client-centered work with solution-focused and mindfulness methods. Client-centered work means conversations that follow what matters most to the person and support their autonomy. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, concrete steps and short-term goals to reduce reactivity and build new patterns. Mindfulness practices involve simple attention and breathing strategies to lower arousal and notice triggers without acting on them.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily responsibilities. That collaborative decision is revisited as therapy continues so tools stay practical and relevant.
The biography specifies phone and video sessions and the use of messaging for in-between notes. If the exact session formats are important to you, confirm the current options before booking. People often find remote sessions easier to fit into work breaks, less travel time, and quicker check-ins between appointments. Phone can work when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, while video can help with visual cues during emotional conversations.
