About Deborah
Deborah Gullatt is a licensed counselor in Texas who helps people facing anxiety, stress, panic, and phobias. She speaks plainly and offers steady support while clients work toward practical goals. Her style is warm and respectful, and she focuses on what each person needs right now.
With 30 years as an LPC - licensed professional counselor - she has worked with a wide range of concerns. That includes trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, and grief.
Background and approach
She also addresses career stress, parenting strain, caregiver fatigue, and challenges linked to ADHD and mood problems such as bipolar disorder. Deborah uses several common therapy methods to match how a person prefers to work. She draws from client-centered approaches to make sessions collaborative and from cognitive behavioral techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are used when managing strong emotions and improving coping. Sessions are focused on clear, achievable steps. People set goals together, and Deborah tailors each meeting so progress is realistic and measurable.
She pays attention to patterns like attachment issues, compulsions, control struggles, and isolation, and helps people build better daily habits. Her practice supports those dealing with life upheaval, blended family stress, domestic violence recovery, and the long-term effects of trauma. Deborah aims to guide people toward more balanced routines, calmer thinking, and stronger self-direction.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Deborah commonly uses client-centered therapy to center the sessions on the person's own goals and priorities; this approach emphasizes listening, respect, and working together to find what helps. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing them through concrete exercises and behavior changes to reduce anxiety and panic.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That collaboration helps ensure the path forward feels manageable and relevant.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection is preferred. Phone sessions can be a good option when a shorter check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between meetings, and they can fit around work and family schedules.
