About Debra Pittman

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 18 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.

“Debra listens & responders needed. She is not hovering & she allows space for your feelings to be expressed. She then offers her expertise advise & each session she leaves you with homework for follow-up. I’m glad I was tasked to her & no one else bc she was JUST who I needed when I needed & STILL HERE! Thank you Ms. Debra!!!”

“The most wonderful person, she is like a best friend you can vent to but will kindly make you realize what you do to upset yourself. I love her, professionally lol thank you Debra Pittman!!”

“I love her! She is the best!”

“Debra has been amazing as my therapist. I cannot recommend her enough. She is kind, compassionate, and, I've never felt judged. Only seen. Her wit and humor are refreshing. Sometimes her timing with her little sayings have helped me more than she’ll know. Skills she's taught me have stuck with me and are now the background noise in my mind during stressful situations, helping me manage my anxiety and overwhelm. <br /> Debbie has always been flexible with me knowing that I have children and schedules can change short notice, easily swapping between video, phone, or text sessions. She responds well to my messages outside of our sessions, and I have been able to get her advice on things that couldn't wait until our next appointment, within a reasonable amount of time.”

“Debra is very knowledgeable and personable. I am so glad I have her as my therapist”

“She’s just amazing and heart warming, comforting and always helps me”

“Listens to my concerns, empathetic, and provides clarity to distressful situation.”

“Mrs. Debra is very respectful and courteous. She listens to my problems before offering advice.”

“Debra always helps me get to the heart of the matter with my issues. I make use of the text feature quite often and she always responds to me”

“I could not recommend Debra enough! She makes me feel seen, heard, and cared for. She listens and offers different perspectives. She’s the best!!”

“Debbie is an incredible sounding board. She always helps in ways that always focus on the positive, and helps me see things that emotional blinders prevent me from seeing on my own. She feels like a trusted friend that's always got my back and always rooting for me to succeed. She never downplays the bad stuff but helps me to find ways to work thru it.”

“So easy to talk to and very knowledgeable.”

“Debra is excellent and helps my daughter and I through a lot.”

“Debra has been really great at helping me sort through a variety of issues. I always feel heard and understood during our sessions.”

“I love her and think she is amazing!”
