About Debbie

Debbie Franzen-Lang is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma. She also supports people facing eating and body image issues, anger, parenting strain, career decisions, bipolar mood challenges, and major life transitions. Her style is practical and conversational.

She treats each person with respect and looks for simple steps forward. With 30 years of experience, she combines an interest in meaning and choice with methods that address thoughts, feelings, and interaction patterns.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client now and next. Counseling is collaborative - she and the client set goals and track progress together. Her approach draws from Existential Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy alongside tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.

She also uses principles from the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are central. These methods are explained plainly in sessions and tailored to fit each person’s needs. Debbie earned a Master of Education degree in 1991 and has worked in clinical and telehealth settings.

She has experience with multicultural concerns, military-related issues, and clients who are hearing impaired. That background shapes a flexible, respectful way of working. People who reach out can expect steady, down-to-earth support aimed at clearer choices and better coping.

Sessions move at a pace that fits each person, and practical tools are offered for everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Existential Therapy focuses on questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck, confused about life direction, or overwhelmed by big changes to clarify what matters and make choices that fit their values.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client's own capacity to find answers. The therapist offers nonjudgmental support and reflection so people can explore feelings and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will tailor methods as they go. That means trying different techniques and picking what fits the person's rhythm and aims, in collaboration with the client.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people connect face-to-face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit a work break. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins, homework support, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These choices help therapy fit into busy lives and different comfort levels.
