Deborah Bledsoe, LPC

Deborah Bledsoe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), which indicates she is licensed to provide professional mental health counseling, and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor with 17 years of experience in counseling, substance abuse, and mental health. She earned her degree from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway in 1999 and pursued further training in Rehabilitation Counseling at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. She is also a certified tobacco interventionist.

She has worked with individuals and families addressing a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, depression, substance use, trauma and abuse, family relationship difficulties, communication problems, anger management, life transitions, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting, self-esteem, career issues, coping with life changes, and caregiver or aging-related challenges.

Her clinical style is intentionally eclectic and tailored to each person’s presenting concerns, motivation, and goals. She draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused therapy to create practical, goal-oriented plans.

As a counselor of color and an experienced, mature clinician, she may be a good match for people seeking that perspective and background. She provides services in English and practices in Arkansas.
