Debra Arseneaux , LPC

Debra Arseneaux, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), brings 21 years of experience supporting individuals and groups through both therapy and executive coaching. As a former private practice owner, she pursued additional training across many specialty areas to ensure clients and colleagues could be served even when certain needs exceeded the expertise of her associates. Her clinical work has addressed PTSD and sexual abuse recovery, depression and anxiety, couples and relationship issues, grief and loss, sexual concerns and dysfunction, addiction and substance use, personality and mood disorders, self-harm and eating disorders, spiritual concerns, mediation, career counseling, and life coaching.

She integrates reactive therapy aimed at recovery with proactive coaching designed to help clients reach specific goals, working primarily from a brief therapy model while remaining willing to extend treatment when other needs emerge. Debra values walking alongside people during challenging periods and focuses on equipping them with practical tools to foster change and transformation. Her practice has also included attention to areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, infidelity, isolation, life purpose, and compassion fatigue.

Debra combines a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person’s situation, helping clients move from feeling stuck toward greater wellbeing and forward momentum.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Debra draws from evidence-informed methods to address a wide range of concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes being present with difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and committed action - it can help with stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by shifting the focus toward meaningful living. Attachment-Based Therapy examines early relational patterns and their impact on current relationships - it is useful for attachment injuries, intimacy-related struggles, abandonment concerns, and relationship repair. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the interplay of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavioral patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Debra collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and new issues arise. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and empowered in care decisions.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules and geographic constraints. These options provide flexibility in how and when to engage, allowing clients to access licensed professionals in ways that align with their daily life and practical needs.
