Deborah 'Deb' Lemoine, LPC

Deborah 'Deb' Lemoine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, or issues with confidence and motivation. Deb aims to meet each person where they are and tailor conversations and plans to their needs.

Her sessions are conversational and rooted in practical techniques. She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and past bonds shape current difficulties.

Deb also uses client-centered and narrative approaches to honor each person’s story. That means listening closely, offering empathy, and helping people reframe the meanings they carry from past experiences. Mindfulness tools are offered when learning to stay present helps reduce worry or reactivity.

She describes her work as respectful, sensitive, and compassionate. Deb adapts pace and focus to each person rather than following a fixed script. Her secular practice supports people of any background who want a values-aligned path forward.

Practical concerns like career stress, caregiver strain, addiction, intimacy-related issues, identity questions including gender dysphoria, and longstanding family-of-origin wounds are within her focus. Deb aims to empower people to take small, manageable steps toward clearer goals and steadier days.

How Deborah uses therapy approaches online

Deb uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck. CBT techniques often involve setting practical goals, tracking patterns between thoughts and feelings, and testing small behavior changes to see what helps reduce anxiety or improve mood.

She also draws on attachment-based therapy when relationship patterns or early bonds affect current trust and closeness. That approach looks at how past connections shape expectations and helps people try new ways of relating in present relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. Together you can adjust the plan over time so the work fits your needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation similar to an in-person visit, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow for shorter check-ins, ongoing support, and flexibility for people with busy schedules. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life.
