More about Deborah

23 years' experience
Female
LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Louisiana with more than 23 years of professional work experience, including recent university classes. I am a down-to-earth individual, with an approach to counseling that includes facts and therapy that "makes sense". I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I have worked with clients with a wide range of problems, some of which are anxiety, depression, grief, life issues, trauma, and many more. I love working with teenagers, children and adults as well as singles and couples.

My approach to therapy is first to learn about yourself. Sometimes it is hard to see problems in ourselves or to understand why we do certain things, when we can so clearly see these things in others. That is because so much is in our subconscious that automatically controls us, and because it is in our subconscious we can't see it. It is only with insight to ourselves (having the subconscious revealed to us by therapy or some means) that we can consciously begin to understand and then possibly change our circumstances. I use scientifically proven methods to help you begin to set goals and achieve them. I have been trained in and use a cognitive-behavioral approach, sometimes incorporating person-centered, humanistic, psychodynamic and other proven successful methods in therapy.

I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
