More about Deborah

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am licensed in Louisiana and earned my Masters in Clinical Mental Health. I have worked as a school counselor and have over 28 years in education. I have over 4 years of professional counseling work experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, parenting issues, & depression. I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective in that patterns of thoughts and actions are explored in order to better understand and address concerns. I believe in treating everyone with respect, and facilitating a safe atmosphere to explore concerns. 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

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
