Deborah Keklak

Deborah Keklak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and works to build a respectful working relationship where people can speak honestly about difficult feelings. Her goal is to help clients develop practical skills and clearer thinking they can use in daily life.

Deborah brings 22 years of counseling experience to her work. She guides people through problems one step at a time, organizing issues into manageable pieces so progress feels doable. She often assigns short, focused homework when it helps the client practice new ways of coping.

Her approach is flexible. She blends Client-Centered methods with cognitive and behavioral tools to match each person's needs. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when those ideas fit the situation.

Deborah places emphasis on building trust and respect in the therapeutic relationship. She encourages clients to move at their own pace while gently challenging patterns that hold them back. The aim is to leave therapy with tools, skills, and a clearer sense of direction.

People who turn to Deborah often bring family concerns, grief, trauma or abuse histories, parenting stress, issues with intimacy or self-esteem, career strain, or questions around ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. She works with those topics by helping clients clarify goals, practice new behaviors, and make gradual, lasting changes.

How Deborah's approaches translate to online work

Deborah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy in many sessions. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that match what matters most, which can help with anger, anxiety, and big life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients feel heard while they sort through emotions and make choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Deborah will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. This collaborative process helps decide which mix of ACT, client-centered listening, or cognitive-behavioral ideas to use over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and supports continuing work between appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules require it, and reduce travel time so more energy goes to the session itself. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and client-centered methods to help people practice skills, test new behaviors, and track progress even when not meeting in person.
