About Promise
Promise Lemoine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with five years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. She also works with issues such as guilt and shame, family of origin difficulties, and questions about life purpose.
Promise uses a direct, person-centered approach in sessions. She aims to make space for honest conversation about thoughts and feelings. She helps people notice the beliefs and behaviors that keep them feeling stuck and works with them to try different ways of responding.
Her work draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. That variety lets her match practical skills with deeper reflection on values and meaning. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing alternatives in everyday life.
She has spent recent years addressing addiction-related concerns, including sex-related behaviors, alongside trauma and relationship problems. Promise frames difficult patterns as learned responses and helps people unlearn what no longer serves them. She invites clients to test new behaviors and notice how those changes affect relationships and self-regard.
People who come for work on shame or guilt can expect frank, straightforward conversations and an emphasis on building concrete coping skills. The focus is on understanding where painful feelings come from and practicing different choices going forward.
How Promise integrates approaches for remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values, even when difficult feelings like guilt arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches specific strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when relationships feel strained.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Promise will collaborate with each person to decide which tools and perspectives fit their needs and goals. That means mixing skill-building with reflection on values and personal meaning rather than sticking to a single method.
Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It can also let people use skills practiced in real life and then bring observations back to the next appointment for review and adjustment.
