About Deborah
Deborah 'Deb' Lemoine is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. She keeps things straightforward and respectful, meeting people where they are and tailoring conversations to each person's needs. Deb aims to create a calm space where someone can take the first steps toward feeling better and more confident.
With 23 years of experience, Deb draws on several clinical approaches to guide sessions.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered methods that let the person set the pace and priorities. She also brings in cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Deb uses attachment-based and narrative approaches when it helps to look at early relationships or the stories someone tells about themselves.
Mindfulness tools can be added to teach simple ways to reduce stress in daily life. She combines these tools to make practical, usable plans rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. People often come to Deb for help with issues like trauma and abuse, addictions, LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and intimacy struggles, or feelings of emptiness and isolation.
She also supports those coping with career setbacks, anger, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Deb accepts international clients. She aims to work collaboratively so each person feels heard and has clear steps to try between sessions.
Practical approaches for online support
Deb often uses client-centered therapy to let the person lead the work and set goals. That approach focuses on understanding each person’s experience and responding with respect so change can happen at a comfortable pace.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT-style work can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and some phobia-related concerns because it breaks problems into small, manageable steps.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process. Deb works together with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative planning helps create clear tasks to try between sessions and ways to measure progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing support, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
