About Deborah
Deborah Boye is a licensed mental health professional who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy struggles, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, and work-related strain.

She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help reframe unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to reduce overwhelm and to build tolerance for strong emotions.
Background and approach
Narrative techniques help clients name difficult stories and consider alternatives to limiting beliefs. Deborah has 12 years of experience working with adults across life stages, including caregivers and people adjusting to major life changes. She holds the credential LMHP and is also an LPC licensed in Arkansas, which supports her clinical practice there.
Sessions are offered in English and tailored to each person's needs. In sessions she favors practical steps and clear goals. People can expect to leave with specific strategies to try between meetings, and the therapist will adjust methods based on what helps.
Deborah emphasizes building self-compassion, better communication, and realistic coping skills. Her practice includes support for issues like compassion fatigue, cancer-related stress, aging concerns, and the isolation that can follow big life transitions. The focus is on small, sustainable changes that add up over time.
Therapeutic approaches that fit your life online
Deborah blends cognitive behavioral work with mindfulness and uses narrative ideas to help people change how they think about problems and respond in daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and experimenting with new behaviors to see what works. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help manage anxiety and stress. Narrative therapy encourages people to tell the story of their lives in new ways so limiting beliefs lose their hold.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Deborah will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals, pace, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape session structure and homework so it feels useful rather than overwhelming.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people use facial cues and shared conversation time. Phone sessions can fit a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing problem-solving, and keeping momentum between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to attend regularly and to practice skills in real-world moments.
