About Debbie
She sees counseling as a team effort. Sessions focus on understanding current problems, setting clear goals, and working toward those goals in small, practical steps. Debbie uses conversations that invite reflection, honesty, and encouragement so clients can try new ways of handling difficulties.
Her background includes a Master of Education from Northeast Louisiana University and three decades of practice in counseling. Debbie has experience with a wide range of issues, including bipolar concerns, panic attacks, self-harm, body image, and multicultural matters. She has also worked with hearing impaired clients and with people connected to the military community.
Debbie describes her style as humanistic and client-centered, with tools from cognitive behavioral, emotionally-focused, existential, and Gottman approaches when those methods fit a client's goals. She provides both individual and relationship-focused work and is familiar with group formats. She does not work independently with children under six years old.
Practicing in Louisiana, she combines long experience with straightforward support. People who want a steady, reflective counselor may find her approach practical and compassionate.
