Debra Arseneaux , LPC

Debra Arseneaux is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical and coaching experience, including ownership of a private practice and work as an executive coach. Over the course of her career she has trained in many specialty areas to broaden the range of clients she and her associates can serve, building expertise in trauma recovery, mood and personality disorders, relationship work, and addiction-related concerns.

Her clinical background includes work with PTSD, sexual abuse recovery, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, couples and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping concerns, self-harm, and sexual dysfunction. She also integrates coaching and career counseling into her practice to support clients who are pursuing proactive life changes in addition to recovery-focused therapy. Debra blends therapeutic and coaching approaches so clients can both heal from past wounds and move toward concrete goals.

Practicing from a brief therapy model, she emphasizes efficient, goal-oriented care while remaining willing to extend treatment when additional challenges emerge. Her approach draws on multiple evidence-informed methods to address stress, relationship dynamics, attachment concerns, and the impacts of caregiving and compassion fatigue. Debra works with a wide demographic and accepts international clients, offering tailored support to help people shift from feeling stuck to making meaningful progress.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care

Debra draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and build psychological flexibility - a practical way to reduce the influence of painful thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. ACT is often useful for managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation. This approach supports work on abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship conflicts by fostering safer internal and interpersonal experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Debra works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match an individual’s needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans can integrate elements from multiple approaches so care is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without the need for travel. These modalities offer flexibility for scheduling, continuity during life changes, and multiple ways to engage in therapy that fit different communication styles and daily routines.
