About Promise

Promise Lemoine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with five years of clinical experience. She has spent her career addressing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, depression, and difficulties coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes helping clients uncover and challenge negative core beliefs and unlearn patterns that no longer serve them. Promise uses a mix of evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy to support personal growth.

She favors a person-centered, direct style that invites honest self-examination while maintaining an open and nonjudgmental space for thoughts and feelings. Promise aims to help people recognize their inherent value, cultivate self-nurture, and pursue more meaningful connection and purpose.

In sessions she works to identify the roots of problematic patterns - whether from trauma, maladaptive coping, or challenging personality dynamics - and collaborates with clients to replace those patterns with healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Her practical, holistic stance encourages change through insight, skill-building, and intentional action.

Using CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online

Promise often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical and commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to encourage clarity about personal values and to cultivate willingness to experience difficult emotions while committing to meaningful action. In addition, she incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles that prioritize empathy, unconditional positive regard, and the client's own pace in exploring personal growth.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods and exercises best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adapting techniques as the work evolves so clients feel supported in shaping the focus of treatment.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or those who prefer remote care. These options allow ongoing access to skills practice, check-ins, and therapeutic conversation from different settings, which can make it easier to maintain consistency and apply what is learned in daily life.
