About Deborah
Deborah 'Deb' Lemoine offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or life changes. She uses a respectful, down-to-earth manner to help people talk through what matters most. Deborah is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from Louisiana with over two decades of experience.
Her approach begins with listening carefully to each person’s story. She adapts sessions to fit individual needs and goals rather than following a strict script.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical steps and new ways of thinking that can improve day-to-day functioning and relationships. Deborah draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships, and she uses client-centered methods to keep the work focused on the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioral techniques are brought in when thoughts and behaviors are driving distress.
Mindfulness and narrative tools can help with grounding, processing difficult memories, and making sense of painful experiences. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction and substance concerns, mood disorders like depression and bipolar, and stress related to caregiving or work.
Additional areas include identity questions such as gender dysphoria, family of origin issues, codependency, and loneliness. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Deborah aims to support people as they take practical steps toward greater resilience and clearer goals.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape expectations and behavior. Online sessions can help people notice repeated relationship patterns and practice new ways of connecting and communicating.Client-centered therapy focuses on respectful listening and following the client’s lead. In remote sessions the therapist stays attuned to what matters most to the person and shapes conversations around their priorities and values.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, used when thoughts or behaviors increase distress, helps identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses. CBT exercises can be assigned between online meetings and reviewed in video or text check-ins.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to goals, combining techniques as needed. That means trying an approach, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera isn’t desired. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit brief sessions into a busy day. These options help people maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into their routines.
