About Deborah
Deborah Keklak is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and works at a pace clients can handle. Deborah aims to give practical skills so people can move toward a more manageable life.
She focuses on building a respectful working relationship first. That means creating space to talk about hard feelings and sorting problems into small, doable steps. Sessions often include skill practice and occasional homework to help new ways of coping stick in daily life.
Background and approach
Deborah draws from several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and mindfulness-based work, and client-centered listening to guide sessions. The mix changes depending on what is most helpful at a given moment.
With more than two decades of counseling experience, Deborah has worked with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and identity and attachment questions. She also helps people facing career strain, body image worries, and feelings of emptiness or shame.
Clients can expect clear, direct support and step-by-step plans for handling problems like anger, communication trouble, or life transitions. Deborah emphasizes skills people can use between sessions so progress carries over into everyday life.

How Deborah's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while guiding them toward actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and problems like anger that keep people from moving forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress. It works well for anxiety, depression, anger, and for building practical coping skills.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and creating a trusting relationship where clients feel heard. That foundation often makes it easier to try new skills from other approaches.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Deborah will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then adjust methods as progress is made. She treats the plan as flexible and revisits it regularly so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are available for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or quick skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
