About Deborah

Deborah 'Deb' Lemoine is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or life transitions. She speaks plainly and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where concerns can be named and worked through. Deb will tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation and goals.

With 23 years of experience, she draws on several well-established approaches rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Background and approach

Deb uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also applies cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Narrative techniques help people reframe difficult stories about themselves.

Deb describes her work as secular and nonjudgmental, focusing on what the client finds meaningful. She emphasizes collaboration and practical steps that fit daily life. Sessions are meant to be straightforward, with clear goals and check-ins on progress.

Her background includes long-term work in Louisiana settings where stress, trauma, and relationship challenges were common concerns. That experience informs how she organizes therapy sessions to be focused and adaptable. Deb pays attention to issues like self-esteem, burnout, and complicated grief.

People seeking help for intimacy-related issues, addiction-related patterns, or identity questions such as gender dysphoria will find an approach that listens first and builds from there. The aim is steady practical change, one conversation at a time.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Deb uses attachment-based work to help people understand how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions; this approach is useful for concerns about connection, trust, and communication. She also uses client-centered therapy which prioritizes listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead so the person feels heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy, another tool she draws on, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to ease symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of how she works. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to use together. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access from different locations. These formats make it easier to fit conversations into busy days and to keep continuity when travel or scheduling challenges arise. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain regular contact and adapt the pace of work to what each person needs.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
