About Deborah

Deborah Gullatt is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

With three decades of clinical experience, she brings steady, practical support to clients navigating grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, career transitions, and struggles with self-esteem or impulse control. Her practice also addresses issues such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic attacks, phobias, and personality-related difficulties.

Deborah blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices when emotional regulation and present-moment awareness are priorities.

Sessions emphasize collaborative goal-setting, respect, and a compassionate stance as clients take steps toward meaningful change. Clients can expect a therapist who values sensitivity and individualized care, helping them set concrete goals and adjust strategies over time.

Deborah’s LPC credential and long experience support a pragmatic, empathetic approach aimed at improving coping and day-to-day functioning.

Using Evidence-Informed Therapies Online

Deborah commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance techniques that support emotional regulation, stress reduction, and coping with trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process; she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and immediate needs. Together they set goals, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps the client make steady progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule or to continue work from a different location in Texas. These formats allow continued access to licensed professionals and make it possible to practice new skills between sessions, maintain momentum, and receive support without commuting.
