About Deborah
Deborah Goza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 19 years of experience. She brings a down-to-earth, practical style to sessions and focuses on clear, goal-oriented work. She listens with respect and uses straightforward methods so people can understand what to do next.
Her practice often addresses stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and challenges with self-esteem. She also helps with eating and sleeping struggles, career transitions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Money and financial issues are included among the concerns she lists.
Deborah starts by helping people learn more about themselves and how habits and subconscious patterns influence behavior. She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques and blends person-centered and psychodynamic ideas when that fits. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas also shape how she supports clients to set practical goals.
Sessions focus on identifying problems, setting achievable goals, and working step by step toward change. Deborah aims to make therapy make sense so people can use tools outside the session. She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation and priorities.
She encourages anyone feeling stuck to reach out and begin with small steps. The first session is used to get oriented, clarify goals, and decide what approach will work best going forward.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Deborah uses cognitive-behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to guide her work. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical steps, which helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and values-based action, which can be useful for stress, grief, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you progress. Work together to decide which techniques feel most helpful and realistic in daily life.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Ask about current online options when you start the process. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still focusing on concrete skills and goal tracking.
