Debra Arseneaux , LPC

Debra Arseneaux is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical and coaching experience, who has served as a private practice owner and executive coach. She has worked with a broad demographic of individuals and groups and intentionally trained in multiple specialty areas so the clinic could meet varied needs and serve clients that others might not be prepared to help.

Her work spans trauma and abuse recovery, post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, couples and relationship issues, grief and loss, sexual concerns and dysfunction, addiction, personality and mood disorders, eating and self-harm concerns, spiritual issues, career counseling and life coaching. Debra combines brief therapy techniques with longer-term plans when circumstances call for extended care, and she balances reactive therapy that supports recovery with proactive coaching that helps people pursue goals.

She approaches each case as a partnership, offering practical tools and encouragement to help people move from feeling stuck toward meaningful change. As a clinician who has trained and supported associate therapists, Debra brings experience in adapting treatment to fit individual needs and will extend treatment plans as agreed when additional issues emerge. She considers it a privilege to accompany people through difficult seasons and toward renewed functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Debra integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy into her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that stem from early bonds and helps people build healthier ways of relating - it is often helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and intimacy issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person's experience - it supports self-esteem, personal growth, and decision making.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Debra works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as issues evolve.

Online therapy with Debra is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals when travel or availability is a concern, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
