About Promise
Promise Lemoine is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Promise aims to create a direct, respectful space where clients can talk honestly about thoughts and feelings.
Her approach is grounded in practical, person-centered work. She draws from methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and real-life skills that can be practiced between meetings. Promise pays attention to how early family experiences and attachment patterns shape current behavior. She helps people examine core beliefs that keep them stuck, and then tests new behaviors that can lead to better outcomes.
This often includes communication work, boundaries, and building healthier responses to triggers. She is frank and straightforward while remaining supportive. Promise encourages clients to take responsibility for change and to practice compassion for themselves along the way.
Her style suits people who want honest feedback plus concrete tools. People who reach out can expect a focus on identifying what isn’t working and learning alternatives that fit their daily life. Promise helps clients move toward clearer values, improved relationships, and steadier emotional regulation over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them. It helps with anxiety, depression, and problems where avoidance keeps people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and then practicing new, more helpful responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills for people who struggle with intense emotions or self-destructive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to tailor methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, or DBT techniques and adjusting the pace so the plan fits the person's life.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit a short break. Live chat and text messaging work well for check-ins, brief skill practice, or people who prefer typed communication. These options offer flexibility to fit appointments into busy schedules and different daily routines.
