About Debra

Debra Arseneaux is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 21 years of experience. She has run a private practice and worked as an executive coach, combining therapy and coaching to help people during hard transitions. Debra focuses on practical steps and clear goals so people can move forward from feeling stuck.

Her approach mixes short-term therapy with longer work when needed. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions often include skills practice, self-reflection, and goal-setting tailored to each person's needs.

Debra has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns. She also helps with issues like parenting strain, caregiver stress, body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, and questions about life purpose and career direction.

People seeking help for attachment or abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome related challenges, first responder stress, or compassion fatigue will find these topics within her focus areas. She also works with struggles around infidelity, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.

Debra practices in Texas and offers services in English. She accepts international clients. Getting started usually involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.

How Debra’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical skill building to change patterns of thought and behavior, helping with depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect present-day connections and helps people improve closeness and trust in their relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Debra works collaboratively to identify which methods best match a person's goals and preferences. She will adjust the plan as progress is made and new needs appear, combining coaching and therapy when that fits the client's aims.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It also lets people use quieter settings, avoid camera use if that feels better, or schedule sessions during a work break to maintain continuity of care.
