More about Debra
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I have been a therapist for over 17 years, and have had the privilege to serve a very wide demographic of individuals and groups as an owner of a private practice as well as executive coach. While an owner of a private practice, I trained in many areas of specialty, so I could provide the best quality therapy for anyone that was introduced to our clinic, and especially those that my associate therapists were not trained to serve and help. My areas of specialties include PTSD, Sexual Abuse Recovery, Depression, Anxiety, Couples Therapy and Relationship Issues, Grief and Loss, Sexual Issues and Dysfunction, Addiction Issues, Personality and Mood Disorders, Self-harm and Eating Disorders, Spiritual Issues, Addiction, Mediation, Career Counseling and Life Coaching.
I thoroughly enjoy what I do, and consider it a privilege to walk alongside someone through sometimes the most difficult time in their life. It is an honor to be trusted to encourage and provide tools to help people transform their lives. Both reactive therapy (helping people recover and thrive in life) and proactive coaching (helping people achieve their goals) are enjoyable for me, so no matter what your goals are, if you feel I am a fit for you, I will do my best to help you achieve those goals as quickly as possible. I work from a brief therapy model, but will extend the treatment plan as agreed and needed if other issues present.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you move forward from a place of feeling "stuck" to achieving wellness. Let's get started!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Debra has been excellent. Friendly but professional and a great help!
Debra is warm and easy to talk to, and she has helped me tremendously in the short time we’ve been in communication. I feel like she really understands what I’m going through and genuinely wants me to get to a better place. This is my first time seeking counseling, and I am so thankful for this experience and for Debra’s support and insight.
Debra is great...so kind and always easy to communicate with. She asks good questions, and even though we did not speak by phone, I know she would be an effective listener. She worked me through some difficult topics and helped me see things more clearly. I'd happily recommend her. Thank you.
Debra is a amazing. She’s attentive and gives great feedback. She listens and knows exactly when to interject without being overbearing or redundant. She gives me a sense of ease and comfort and tasks to do or think about that are not overwhelming and actually make sense. Highly recommended.
Mrs. Arseneaux has been an incredible guide to my life. She is wise, caring, and extremely understanding and effective at addressing thought patterns and deeply rooted, unhealthy processes. She has poured out so much wisdom and guidance into my life and has helped me tremendously. She is very skilled at counseling, possesses so much wisdom and application of knowledge. I owe her so much of my current journey!
Debra has been a great listener. She is supportive and non-judgmental. I appreciated the fact that she regularly checked on me. She has been helpful regarding anxiety and goals issues.
Absolutely amazing!
Debra is an excellent counselor! She responds quickly, asks really good questions and shares meaningful insights. I chose FaithfulCounseling because I wanted to work through my issues with a Christian counselor. Debra has years of experience in church ministry and the wisdom that comes with that is evident. She is easy to talk to and has a gift for listening well and getting to the heart of an issue. I’m very grateful to be working with Debra and would highly recommend her as a counselor.
I love talking to Debra. She's listens and comes back with good questions and offers good advice.
She is aweaome
Debra is so amazing she relley listens to the programs you you have and she gives you the best ways to work out your problems. I love debra
Debra is a very patient, and empathetic counselor. She really helps me to see a different perspective to things, which puts my mind at ease
She is amazing. Even though she is helping me by allowing me to do what I think is right she is also giving her advice expertise and feelings on the correct thing to do. She had pointed out both the good and the bad of the scenario that I’m in and what it could be like if I’m not in that scenario. But she is supporting me in the decision that I make whatever it may be and she provides her expertise in doing what I choose to do because it is my choice.
Debra is amazing and very skilled...
I love Debra. She is an excellent listener and always zero Right in to the areas that i need to work on. She helps me with my worry’s feelings, anxiety and the lost of my mom. I had three sessions with Debra and she loves what she does and has help me already get over so Many Hurtles. She So compassionate and carrying. She is a great therapist
She’s amazing. She listen and give great advice.
It's early days for me yet but I feel better already just having someone to talk to and listen. Hopefully given time, I'll work through my issues and I'm glad I made the move to get help.
Debra is an excellent professional. She is great at assessing the root cause of issues I've brought up to her and working towards a solution. She is also very kind and empathetic. I highly recommend her as an LPC!
Highly professional, attentive and caring. Debra understands where your concerns are and takes the steps to address them. Love getting the notes and helpful reading material she sends through. I have been really impressed with my experience with Better help and Debra, definitely recommend it.
So far I’ve loved chatting with Debra about my personal and relationship issues.
I appreciate Debra understanding me and listening to me.
Debra is awesome! She listens well and has helped me a lot in the short amount of time that I have been on here for. I highly recommend her!
Debra has helped me put into words the feelings I’ve been experiencing so that I can get what I need out of therapy. Her therapy equipped me with the necessary tools to assist me in my day to day activities and help me get back to a normal I’m happy with.
Debra is caring, intelligent and supportive. She is like a good friend who is able to guide a person through difficult situations. She is wise when providing insight and advice. She answers my questions in a quick and thoughtful manner. I have recommended her to a friend and I am confident that she will be able to help her. She has provided me with help and hope during one of the most difficult times in my life and I am forever grateful for finding this excellent therapist.
Debra has helped me in so many ways. She truly tells me what i need to hear and helps me to process through daily life. I am so so grateful for her and how quickly she gets back to me
Still early, but so far seems to pick up on things quickly.
She cares and is very helpful.
Thank you for being so kind and understanding
She great!
Debra has been awesome for me so far! She really helps me to narrow down my focus and thinks of things that are best for me when I am thinking of what is most beneficial for so many other people. She allows me an open and objective safe space to get objective input and I really appreciate her filtering some things for me and allowing me to dig deeper into thoughts or ideas that perhaps I have not thought through completely or I may have a misguided understanding of. I will be using her regularly and she makes herself available daily for me! I do not know what I would do if I did not have her during this difficult time. She is nurturing, considerate, caring, and has been doing an awesome job!
I like her a lot :) she feels like a friend I can relate you and connect with
Debra has helped me so much in a very short period of time. She's been wonderful.
Really great counselor! She’s there to listen and help, and I’ve been using the techniques that she’s suggested to calm down my anxiety. Would definitely recommend her.
I just started counseling with Debra and it’s so much better than expected! I feel like I’m getting real help and support. It’s just what I needed. She’s amazing.
Debra Arseneaux is very helpful and supportive, and very good at giving new or different perspectives on looking at things. She’s genuinely loving and concerned, and empathetic. That either comes natural or you’re gifted with it, or it takes years of experience to imitate those feelings properly.. and if it doesn’t come naturally, it’ll make you exhausted. She never seems exhausted.
She’s extremely caring and listens to what you have to say she asks all the right questions to help you think about your current situation. I really enjoy having her as my counselor.
Debra has leveled me out! My moods tend to vary and if I disagree with someone it can either really bring me down, or I can flip out on them. Since her she’s taught me to see their side and just disagree gracefully. I haven’t screamed at my boyfriend since starting better help and I’m so happy we can finally communicate better!
I appreciate you helping me diagnose my OCD and compulsive behaviour but I'm hoping for more ways to improve my behaviour and thoughts. I understand it’s only been a couple of weeks but I’m really hoping that I’m able to change the way my mind works.
Debra has been the first professional to finally help me and actually make me feel like I'm not broken.
I’m glad to be back with her.
After only one session by phone with Deborah she was able to zero in on my concerns and struggles and set up a plan of action for me and a way for us to communicate daily so I can share my progress with her each day, which allows her to reevaluate and continue to offer helpful strategies.
I am progressing at this time and am satisfied with my therapist.
Debra is very kind and understanding. She is an expert in what she does and I am excited to work with her.
My counselor has been very helpful and insightful. She responds back within a day and is compassionate.
Working with Debra has been a valuable experience, especially in such uncertain times. She is respectful and caring and it is great to have someone to turn to any time of the day.
Debra is amazing. I actually feel like she’s listening.
Debra offers amazing guidance. Her responses are always spot on. It’s like I’m speaking to an old friend that I can share anything with, and I am typically a pretty private person. Debra's words are kind and knowledgeable. She just gets me!
I was at a point in depression where I had lost the motivation to do anything in life or even to live, and I firmly believed that I could not be helped unless the cause of my depression goes away. But Debra listened patiently to me and slowly helped me get out of it. It is unbelievable for me to think of how much my mental health improved just in a matter of months. She is very kind and motivating. She never made me feel pressurized for anything, and allowed me get over my issues by her insightful discussions and worksheets.
Debra is the best counselor I found on here so far!!! She actually cares about what I say and I dont feel like she's just here to collect a paycheck. I would recommend her 100%!
Debra has been a big help to me in such a short time. Shes helped me put things in perspective and help me realize my own self worth and give me hope that things will get better.
Debra is excellent. She listens and is non judgmental and extremely knowledgeable. I look forward to talking to her.
Debra is an outstanding counselor, she always gives me more than one point of view. Never gives me what I want to hear, but what I need to hear. I truly appreciate her as my counselor.
Debra has been a supportive and flexible counselor for me. She is quick minded, caring and puts things in ways that I can hear. I strongly recommend her.
Really great person to talk to and really understand what i was feel and going through. I would definitely recommend Debra to anyone and will continue with her. Thank you Debra and BetterHelp for these amazing program.
It has been great working with Debra. This is my first time trying BetterHelp or any remote therapy at all, and Debra has made it a great experience. She sends me useful work sheets and asks me good questions to get me rethinking things. She also responds to me quickly and checks in regularly.
She is very good at intuitively listening and getting to what needs to be worked on without pushing too hard. Debra has made herself available and I feel that she is completely non-judgmental which is key in a successful counselor.
Debra Arseneaux has helped me focus on my personal goals in life instead of the troubling things going on. With her guidance, I was able to accomplish many of my goals and have was able to improve my life significantly. I believe she is very open minded and is able to truly provide help and guidance to those who need it. I thank her for getting out of my “stuck” place, and helping me get on the right path :)
We have a great time learning from Deb!
Wonderful counselor, gets right to the point in a loving and respectful way. Debra has made a huge impact in helping me overcome issues that brought me to counseling.
Debra is patient and understanding. I recommend!
I really appreciate all of the attentiveness Debra has shown me, I appreciate how she always check in on me and makes me feel like I have a safe non judgmental place and person to talk to.
My first experience of BetterHelp is really helpful and the way she just changes the way you think and changes your negative mindset in to positive one is impressive.
