About Deborah
Deborah Gullatt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people coping with ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and life changes.
Deborah uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. She listens and helps people set clear goals. Sessions focus on skills that reduce worry, manage strong emotions, and improve daily functioning.
Her approach blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, plus mindfulness practices. That mix aims to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, learn coping strategies, and practice new patterns of behavior. Deborah often uses short, concrete exercises you can try between appointments.
She has long experience in areas such as attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, control and impulsivity problems, and recovery after domestic violence or disaster. She also addresses obsessive-compulsive behaviors, panic attacks, phobias, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions move at a steady, practical pace. Deborah helps people prioritize what to work on first and tracks progress over time. If you want clear steps to manage emotions, set boundaries, or handle parenting strain, she can help you identify options and practice them in day-to-day life.
How sessions work
How Deborah’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood while they decide what to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build routines that reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills give tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills are useful for managing intense anger, impulsivity, and relationship strain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with one technique and adding others over time.
