Deborah Tommey, LPC - Therapist in Oklahoma

About Deborah

Deborah Tommey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on practical help for adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and related concerns. She offers straightforward support and asks what change a person wants to make. Sessions aim to be positive and focused on real-life steps rather than jargon.

With 15 years of experience, Deborah blends several therapy styles to match each person's needs. She often uses client-centered methods that prioritize the individual's perspective.

Background and approach

She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and on mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm. Her approach is conversational and respectful. She listens first, then suggests small, doable steps toward change.

Deborah pays attention to issues such as caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, hoarding, sexuality and LGBT topics, sleep problems, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Deborah has led support groups and provided training to other professionals on behavioral health topics. She works with adults and values helping people find meaning and autonomy in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy places the person and their experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what she hears, and supports clients as they name goals and make decisions. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity about what matters most to them.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, specific changes that move a person toward a clear goal. Sessions often focus on strengths and on practical steps a person can try between meetings. This method is useful for people who want fast, goal-oriented work on problems like sleep issues, stress, or daily coping skills.

Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions when helpful to reduce anxiety and increase present-moment awareness. Simple breathing and attention practices can make intense emotions easier to manage and support better sleep and stress reduction.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Collaboration guides each step so the work feels relevant and doable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation barriers, and keep continuity of care. Messaging can be used between sessions for brief updates or important notes, while live conversations happen by phone or video.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
