More about Debra

  • LCSW

Hi, I'm Debra "Debbie" Pittman. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) in Arkansas. I have been compassionately and non-judgmentally working to assist others with making positive changes to their lives for 15 years. I have worked with people challenged by depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and other life changing circumstances. My counseling style is warm, holistic and supportive. I strive to help educate, strengthen and empower others, so they are more confident in living their life to the fullest. I meet you where you are, listen to learn where you want to go and work with you to assist you to work out a road map to get there. I then also walk with you to help you along your journey. As no two people are alike, we tailor your plan to your unique and specific need. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life. Taking the first steps towards change can be scary. If you are ready to take that step, it would be my honor to assist, support and empower you along your path.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Debra is someone whom I've come to trust during session 1. She's not just a educated therapist, she has what I refer to as "street cred". She knows what she is talking about and I find her worksheets, advice, and style of teaching to be optimally therapeutic for me. I will continue therapy with Debra and not be afraid of the bad things in my past. I feel brave enough to walk through with Debra.

I’ve never had a better therapist. I’ve never stuck with any because I didn’t feel like they were helping fast enough. I didn’t feel like I was gettting anything out of it but Debra was amazing from the very first session. I will stick with her as long as she is a therapist! She’s not only my therapist but my friend!

Debra listened to me . I had tried another therapist locally and they did not explain to me what anxiety was or how it worked. Debra made me feel at ease immediately and explained exactly why I was feeling what I was feeling. She gave me skills to practice and gave me hope. I highly recommend Debra

Debra is wonderful! Talking with her is like talking with a girlfriend over coffee! She understands where I’m coming from and gives me license to say what’s on my mind. She is truly a safe space.
