About Deborah
Deborah Gullatt is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with three decades of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and challenges around work and career. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while supporting people as they take the first steps toward change.
Deborah uses a collaborative, goal-focused way of working. She and the client set practical goals together and shape sessions around what the person needs. Sessions are kept simple and straightforward so people can apply what they learn to everyday life.
Her background includes long experience helping people manage grief, parenting strain, addictions, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. She also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, and attachment concerns. That breadth comes from a varied clinical career working with many kinds of problems over 30 years as an LPC.
Deborah draws on several common therapy methods. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, listening relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness techniques add practical skills for emotion regulation and stress reduction.
People who want clear goals, steady support, and practical tools may find her approach helpful. The focus is on useful steps people can take between sessions to feel better and cope more effectively.
How her approaches translate to online work
Deborah commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting working relationship so people feel heard and understood. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then adjust methods to fit each person's needs. That shared decision making helps keep sessions practical and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday or a busy schedule. They also let people use skills learned in session in the same daily settings where challenges arise. Licensed professionals often adapt CBT and client-centered techniques for remote work so clients can practice tools between meetings and track progress over time.
