About Deborah

Deborah Tommey is an LPC with 15 years of clinical experience who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings a hopeful, empathic presence to sessions and aims to create a supportive atmosphere where clients can explore meaning, identify goals, and build practical skills for coping with life changes and career or caregiving stresses. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and individualized care.

Deborah draws from client-centered work to prioritize each person’s values and autonomy, while integrating solution-focused and mindfulness techniques to target specific problems and improve day-to-day functioning. She has additional experience addressing issues such as hoarding, family of origin dynamics, LGBT concerns, and end-of-life and caregiver stress.

Working primarily with adults, Deborah combines an optimistic outlook with questions about what change a client wants to see, using therapeutic conversation and practical interventions to move toward those goals. She accepts international clients and offers sessions that fit a range of schedules and needs.

Approaches that shape online sessions



Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and placing the client’s values and goals at the center of work; this approach helps people who want a respectful, empathetic space to explore concerns and make personal choices. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding techniques to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for anxiety, trauma reactions, and sleep difficulties. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes identifying concrete goals and small, achievable steps toward change, making it a practical fit for people seeking targeted progress on specific problems.

Finding the right combination of methods is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors the mix of client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps to fit what the client hopes to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible, accessible care. These options make it easier to maintain consistency around work and caregiving schedules, to receive support from different locations, and to check in between sessions through messaging when needed.
