About Deborah
Deborah Keklak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 22 years of experience who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, and life transitions. She focuses on building a respectful working relationship so clients feel comfortable sharing thoughts and feelings. Sessions move at a pace that fits the person and emphasize practical skills for daily life.
Deborah uses a blend of approaches rather than one fixed method. She often starts from a client-centered view, listening closely to each person’s experience and tailoring next steps to what works. She also draws on cognitive and behavioral ideas to reshape unhelpful thinking and on emotion-focused strategies to address attachment and intimacy concerns.
In therapy with Deborah, sessions are organized around specific issues so problems feel less overwhelming. She may suggest short homework between meetings and breaks challenges into manageable steps. The goal is to develop tools clients can use on their own to handle future bumps in the road.
Her background includes long experience with family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, parenting and blended family questions, communication and commitment problems, body image and codependency, and coping after separation or loss. She also supports people navigating career stress, ADHD-related struggles, and mood shifts such as bipolar symptoms.
Deborah practices in Texas and works in English. People who want a steady, collaborative style that mixes listening with practical techniques may find her approach helpful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are. It helps people who need a supportive space to share feelings and build self-understanding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then commit to actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches practical steps to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Deborah will collaborate with each person to figure out which approach or combination fits their goals and preferences. She adjusts methods as progress is made so sessions feel relevant and useful.
