About Deborah

Deborah Goza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 19 years of clinical experience. She keeps things straightforward and practical, using clear explanations and steps that clients can follow. Deborah emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people work toward measurable goals.

Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship concerns. She also helps people facing parenting challenges, grief, self-esteem struggles, sleep and eating issues, career questions, and changes in life circumstances.

Background and approach

ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues are part of her caseload as well. Deborah blends approaches to suit each person. She commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods, and sometimes draws on emotionally-focused and psychodynamic ideas.

Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and build practical steps toward change. Her style is hands-on and goal oriented. She works with clients to identify patterns that operate below awareness, name workable goals, and practice new responses.

The emphasis is on small, achievable changes that add up over time. People who want straightforward guidance and tools are likely to find Deborah easy to work with. She encourages taking the first step and supports clients through the process of setting goals and tracking progress.

How Deborah’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to clarify what matters and build small, value-based steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical skills and experiments. In remote sessions this often means setting simple tasks between meetings and reviewing results together. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and uses empathic listening to help people feel heard and understood; this approach guides conversations and goal-setting in all session formats.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. Deborah will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. She adapts the plan over time, checking in about what helps and what needs adjusting so the work fits real life.

Online therapy offers a lot of practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging lets people send short updates or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
