Deborah Tommey, LPC

Deborah Tommey, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor who earned a Master of Counseling from Oklahoma State University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She works primarily with adults, with a preference for supporting people age 20 and older. With extensive training and experience, she helps clients navigate concerns such as stress-related difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, and dementia or cognitive impairment. Her work also extends to sexuality and LGBTQ concerns, hoarding disorder, and other behavioral health needs, and she brings substantial knowledge related to aging, caregiver stress, and the unique challenges that can arise later in life.

Deborah approaches therapy with the understanding that each person is different, and that effective care often means tailoring the approach to the individual. She typically works from a person-centered foundation, aiming to offer a supportive and comfortable space while collaborating on clear goals. She often integrates solution-focused and existential techniques, and may incorporate mindfulness practices when they fit the client and situation, reflecting her appreciation for holistic support of emotional and physical well-being.

In addition to individual counseling, Deborah has facilitated support groups for a range of populations and diagnoses and has provided training and education for other professionals on behavioral health topics. She offers sessions by phone or video and uses text-based messaging between sessions when something important needs to be shared, with the intention of supporting steady progress toward the changes a client wants to achieve.
