Miranda Metcalf
Hello! My name is Miranda Metcalf (she/her) and I am an LPC with over 10 years of being independently licensed, and have been in the mental health and substance abuse fields, in different capacities, for about 23 years. In my personal life I am a mother, animal lover and avid reader. I have pretty diverse interests and am curious about everything. I believe that knowledge is power and we all bring a needed and diverse experience to the world. I believe we are never too old or too young to learn, grow and change, if we are willing to put in the work. Professionally, I have worked with clients experiencing difficulties related to trauma, depression, anxiety, ADD, substance abuse and family issues. I have worked with clients ranging in age from 3 years old to in their 80's and enjoy working with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds and lifestyles. I do not believe in judging people for the way they choose to live their lives, or for being true to themselves. My counseling style has previously been described as caring and honest. I believe in treating everyone with mutual respect and am open and honest. I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, as well as many other client centered and humanistic techniques. Each client and family is different and unique, and as such I will tailor my approach to your specific needs. I believe it takes courage and a strong desire to improve your life to seek out help. I commend you for taking this step to improving your life. While I cannot make changes for you, I am honored to help you do so, and look forward to walking your journey with you.
Thomas Potter
Hi friends, My name is Thomas and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work, licensed in Oklahoma. I have practiced as a clinical social worker for 20 years and have worked in a variety of settings to include community mental health, hospice, and working with Veterans. I know that the first step of reaching out takes a lot of courage. Anytime we venture into the unknown, any time when we look for change, it can feel overwhelming and scary. However, I am ready to support you and guide you through this counseling/therapy process. Although our work together will be collaborative, you will be in the driver's seat as you identify issues that are relevant to you and that you want to address. My approach is strength based and grounded in the here and now. If we begin working together and for whatever reason you do not feel comfortable with me or believe that I am providing helpful techniques, I will be more than happy to help you transition to a different therapist. It is important that you feel completely comfortable, are able to express yourself without reservation, and feel listened too. Therapy/counseling isn't about the therapist; it is about you getting what you need to help you reach your goals. Life is challenging and full of twists and turns, Better Help is here for you as you navigate your path. I look forward to working with you!

Deborah Tommey
As a licensed therapist (Licensed Professional Counselor), I obtained my Master of Counseling from Oklahoma State University/Tulsa, Oklahoma. My practice includes adults. Specialties I offer, and am experienced and well-trained in, are anxiety, depression, grief/loss, dementia/cognitive impairment, trauma, and stress-related disorders. Other areas of focus include sexuality, LGBTQ concerns, hoarding disorder, and other behavioral health interests. I also offer extensive knowledge of the aging population and caregivers. Although I recognize that all clients are unique individuals and that different theories work differently for everyone, I strive to assess clients and determine which type of therapy will be most successful. Primarily, I practice Person-Centered Therapy and incorporate some Solution-Focused, Gestalt, and Existential techniques. I start with an optimistic view of all clients, providing a positive, supportive, and comfortable atmosphere/conversation. I offer an empathic outlook, working to connect with you. I am hopeful my clients can feel autonomy, and I also ask, “What difference or change do you want to achieve”? I believe taking a look at your meaning in life can be insightful many times, too. I also offer mindfulness techniques when appropriate, as I do credit holistic approaches as important for us emotionally and physically. I have been successful in facilitating support groups for various populations and numerous diagnoses, as well as training and education of other professionals regarding many Behavioral Health concerns. I prefer to work with adults aged 20 or older. Phone and video are astonishing ways to provide counseling sessions; however, I am not so keen on live chat. I do use the messaging for in between sessions, if there is something of importance you want to share or let me know. I will do the same. I hope to facilitate and support you through this process and towards your goal in seeking therapy.

Donald (Don) Heffington
For over 20 years I have been providing counseling services to the residents of Oklahoma. I received my bachelors degree in psychology from the University of Tulsa, went on to receive my Masters degree from Northeastern State University and then received my license as a Licensed Professional Counselor. My practice consists of counseling clients, supervising new counselors for their licensure and consulting with other counselors about their practice. Over the years I have employed a variety of therapeutic interventions for my clients ranging from Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Solution Focused Therapy. We all experience times in our life when we are unable to do those things that we want to, and our lives may become unmanageable and unfulfilling. These times may provoke feelings of anxiety and depression and may lead to substance use or other maladaptive and self-destructive behaviors and relationships. These emotions, behaviors and relationships can often overwhelm us and we experience a feeling of being stuck in our current situation with no way out. These difficult emotions may have been a part of us for so long that we do not realize there is a different way of living. If you are struggling with emotions, relationships, substance use or you find yourself repeating the same patterns, I would like the opportunity to work with you. After hearing from you about what you would like to change in your life, what you value and the strengths you will bring to therapy, I will work with you to determine the most effective plan to help you realize the life you desire.
