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!
Additional areas of focus:Addictions, LGBT, Family conflicts, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, Abandonment, Attachment issues, Autism and Asperger Syndrome, Body image, Caregiver issues and stress, Communication problems, Control issues, Divorce and separation, Family problems, First responder issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Infidelity, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Men's issues, Midlife crisis, Veteran and Armed Forces Issues, Mood disorders, Obsessions, compulsions, and OCD, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Polyamory / non-monogamous relationships, Post-traumatic stress, Pregnancy and childbirth, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Sexual assault and abuse, Sexual dysfunction, Sexuality, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Debra Arseneaux. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I love talking to Debra. She's listens and comes back with good questions and offers good advice.

Written on Aug 07, 2020 after therapy with Debra for 1 month on issues concerning depression, family conflicts, self esteem, and anger management
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!

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.

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!

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 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 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.
