About Deborah
Deborah Boye is an LMHP and an LPC practicing in Arkansas with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, and those wrestling with relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people managing caregiving strain, workplace change, and questions about life purpose and self-esteem.
Her work uses practical methods to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on noticing patterns that keep problems going and trying small, manageable changes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and narrative techniques to give concrete steps and new perspectives.
Deborah often helps people handle anger, codependency, guilt, and isolation by breaking issues into clear parts. Conversations include short exercises, goal setting, and reviewing progress each session. She also addresses aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related stress, and challenges young adults often face in careers and relationships.
Her approach is collaborative and structured. Clients can expect clear plans, homework when helpful, and regular check-ins about how methods are working. She explains things in plain language and focuses on practical coping skills.
Deborah sees English-speaking clients in Arkansas. She combines solution-focused steps with narrative work to help people rewrite difficult stories from their past and test new behaviors in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Deborah draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternative responses. CBT sessions often include short in-session experiments, thought tracking, and clear behavioral goals to address anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention practices that reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping. Narrative Therapy is used to map the stories people tell about themselves and to try new interpretations that reduce shame and increase self-direction.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean focusing on practical CBT skills some weeks and exploring narrative shifts or mindfulness practices in others.
