Deborah 'Deb' Lemoine , LPC

Deborah 'Deb' Lemoine is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She offers a respectful and compassionate space for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. Deb speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions.

With more than 23 years of experience in Louisiana, she tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions address a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions, and intimacy-related issues. She also works with people facing identity questions such as gender dysphoria and LGBT-related stress.

Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral tools. That means Deb pays attention to relationship patterns, listens without judgment, and helps you test new thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on narrative and mindfulness techniques to help people rewrite unhelpful stories and build calmer daily habits.

Clients can expect a down-to-earth style focused on clear goals and small changes. Deb is secular and frames therapy around each person’s values and goals rather than any particular belief system. She emphasizes collaboration and practical skills alongside emotional understanding.

Outside of sessions she brings decades of clinical experience to common life problems like caregiver stress, career uncertainty, codependency, and feelings of emptiness. Her work aims to help people regain a sense of agency and move toward a more satisfying life.

How Deb’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based work focuses on how past and present relationships shape how someone connects and feels safe with others. Online sessions can explore these patterns and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and understood; sessions prioritize listening and helping people set goals that match their values. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Deb will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as therapy progresses. She aims to make decisions together so the plan matches what matters to the client and what feels doable in day-to-day life.

Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a simpler check-in suits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, coaching moments, or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into work, caregiving, or travel demands.
