About Deborah
Deborah Goza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 19 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting strains, relationship issues, and related concerns. Deborah also lists focus areas such as self-esteem, anger, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and career or life changes.
She prefers straightforward, fact-based counseling that aims to make sense to the client. Sessions start by learning about how a person thinks and behaves day to day. That helps make hidden patterns easier to spot and name.
Deborah uses a cognitive-behavioral approach and may draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, emotionally focused techniques, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas when they fit. She describes these as scientifically grounded ways to set goals and try different responses to old habits.
Her work often focuses on identifying practical steps and measurable goals. Deborah emphasizes helping clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then testing new ways of responding. She frames progress as small changes that add up over time.
She has experience with many common life challenges including parenting stress, compassion fatigue, attachment or abandonment concerns, blended family issues, caregiver strain, domestic violence effects, and aging-related issues. Deborah encourages people to name a problem, set goals, and monitor results rather than staying stuck.
Readers should confirm current session options before scheduling. The profile describes approaches and areas of focus to help someone decide whether to explore a first appointment.
How Deborah applies therapy approaches in online work
Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going, then practices new ways of responding in real life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and encourage action toward them even when uncomfortable feelings appear. Client-centered methods keep the conversation focused on the client’s perspective and goals rather than a fixed protocol.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their situation, combining tools as needed based on goals, preferences, and progress. That means checking in about what helps and what to adjust over time.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into busy weeks, reduces travel time, and makes brief check-ins easier to schedule. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper work. Discussing practical needs and scheduling preferences during the matching process helps ensure sessions fit everyday life rather than disrupt it.
