About Deborah

Deborah Keklak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people find steadier footing during stressful times. She focuses on practical tools and gentle guidance so clients can handle worries, relationship strain, grief, and major life changes. Deborah keeps language simple and sessions straightforward so parents and busy adults can follow along easily.

She favors a collaborative approach where the client sets the pace and goals. Sessions often include skill building, short assignments between meetings, and step-by-step problem solving.

Background and approach

Deborah uses a mix of methods and chooses what fits each person's situation rather than one fixed technique. Existential ideas shape how she talks about meaning, choice, and responsibility in life transitions. She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused techniques when those tools match a client's needs.

The emphasis is on what helps someone move forward, not on labels. Deborah has over two decades of counseling experience working with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, intimacy and relationship issues, self-esteem, anger, and grief. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar concerns, career questions, and blended family challenges.

Many clients come for help with attachment, abandonment, communication problems, and forgiveness. Sessions are delivered in multiple online formats to suit different schedules. Deborah aims to build a respectful working relationship and teach skills people can use in daily life.

She encourages small, steady steps so progress is clear and manageable.

Online support

How Deborah’s approaches work online

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility in life. It helps people facing big transitions, feelings of emptiness, or questions about purpose by talking through what matters to them and what they want to change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting uncomfortable thoughts and committing to actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and coping with life changes by teaching practical exercises and values-based goals.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's experience at the center and relies on listening, empathy, and respect. This style is often used alongside other methods to build trust and clarity about what to work on next.

The therapist will work with each person to decide which approach or blend of approaches fits best. That decision is collaborative and based on the client's goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to sessions. Adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to try different formats as needs change.
