About Debbie
Debbie Franzen-Lang is an LPC with three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. She supports clients facing trauma and abuse, eating and body-image concerns, parenting challenges, anger, and major life changes. Her approach is practical and human, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to move forward.
Debbie works collaboratively with each person. She treats sessions as teamwork - listening first, then setting clear goals together. She uses grounded methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try different behaviors, and handle strong emotions more effectively.
Her background includes a Master of Education degree earned in 1991 and a long clinical practice in Louisiana. Over 30 years she has supported many kinds of life transitions, from divorce and career shifts to coping with bipolar episodes and panic attacks. She also addresses multicultural concerns and issues facing veterans and armed forces members among other focus areas.
In the therapy room she draws from client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, existential questions, and relationship-focused strategies like the Gottman Method. That mix lets her tailor sessions to the problem at hand, whether it is improving intimacy, managing panic, or rebuilding self-worth.
Sessions emphasize clear steps, real-world skills, and steady support. People who come to her can expect straightforward conversation, practical exercises to try between sessions, and a pace set by their goals and comfort.
