Deborah Bledsoe

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hello . My name is Deborah Bledsoe and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a specialty in Drug and Alcohol and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I graduated from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Arkansas in 1999. I have gone on to further my education and knowledge with Rehabilitation Counseling at University of Arkansas Little Rock and I am also a certified tobacco interventionist.
I work with individuals and families with a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, depression, substance abuse, trauma-informed care, family relations problems, communication, anger management, life changes and compassion fatigue. I come from an eclectic approach to counseling, but by the client’s presenting concerns, motivation and goals, the therapies that could be used are client centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy psychodynamic therapy, solution focused therapy and trauma-informed care. I am a counselor of color, with over twenty years in counseling, substance abuse and mental health. I would be a good match for someone seeking an older and mature counselor.
Life as we have once known has dramatically changed, which has brought struggles and overwhelming challenges to face daily. I would like to help you provide solutions to these challenges that you face. If you make the first step to seek help, I will walk with you. If you are willing to put the work in you will see a much healthier you.
I look forward to being a part of your journey to a fulfilled life.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can produce real results. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is scheduling flexibility. Clients can choose the format that best fits their life – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to attend sessions regularly and maintain momentum in treatment.

All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and if a different therapeutic match is desired, clients may switch to another therapist. Online therapy offers an accessible option for many people seeking help for everyday mental health challenges while preserving the same core therapeutic approaches used in face-to-face work.
