About Deborah

Deborah 'Deb' Lemoine is a licensed professional counselor in Louisiana who aims to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, low motivation, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and plans to the individual’s needs.

Background and approach

Deb emphasizes a secular practice and centers the client’s values when helping them explore changes that feel right for their life. With 23 years of clinical experience and an LPC credential, she draws from several therapy traditions including cognitive behavioral strategies, attachment-informed perspectives, client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, and narrative work.

This mix allows her to adapt methods to the presenting concern, whether that involves processing loss, addressing relationship and intimacy issues, navigating identity and gender concerns, or managing mood and addictive behaviors. She encourages clients to take courageous first steps and focuses on empowering them as they move toward more satisfying and purpose-driven outcomes.

Deb offers services accessible to people in Louisiana and accepts international clients, working to match therapeutic tools to each person’s priorities and readiness for change.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Deborah combines cognitive behavioral tools and attachment-informed methods to help clients address thoughts, behaviors, and relational patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical strategies to change behaviors and mood, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, helping with intimacy-related concerns, codependency, and attachment issues.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to evaluate their goals, preferences, and life context, and then tailors the mix of CBT, attachment work, mindfulness, or narrative techniques accordingly. This shared decision-making helps ensure the plan fits the person’s needs and pace.

Online therapy with Deb is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue consistent care from varied locations and to use tools that fit daily life, whether a client prefers real-time conversation or shorter message-based check-ins.
