About Deborah
Deborah Tommey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and concerns related to caregiving and aging.
She begins by asking what change the person wants to see. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Deborah uses a person-centered stance that keeps the client’s priorities central while offering tools that fit each situation.
Her approach blends client-centered care with solution-focused ideas and existential reflection. She uses mindfulness techniques when helpful to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help making changes in behavior or sticking to a plan.
Deborah has worked with adults across a range of behavioral health concerns, and she has experience leading support groups and training other professionals. She often helps people sort through family of origin issues, abandonment, guilt and shame, and work-related stress.
Practical skills are a regular part of sessions. That can mean short experiments to change a pattern, mindfulness practices, or focused conversations to clarify values and decisions. Deborah also uses messaging between sessions for important updates or brief check-ins when that fits the client’s needs.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the client’s priorities at the center and focuses conversations on what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach start with the client’s goals and use reflective listening and open questions to clarify next steps.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical, short-term strategies and small experiments. In remote work this can mean setting a concrete task between sessions and reviewing results on the next call to track progress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce emotional reactivity. These are easy to practice during or between video or phone sessions and can help with managing anger and stress in the moment.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, then adjust as work progresses. Expect a mix of conversation, short exercises, and check-ins to see what helps.
The biography notes she uses phone and video sessions and messaging for important updates between appointments. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use practices learned in session during everyday life.
