About Deborah
Deborah Goza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Louisiana with 19 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strains, parenting stress, and other common life challenges. Deborah also offers support around issues like self-esteem, anger, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and career questions.
Her style is practical and straightforward. She focuses on helping clients identify problems, set clear goals, and use evidence-based techniques to reach those goals. Deborah notes that much of our behavior comes from the subconscious, so therapy often begins with increasing self-understanding.
Deborah lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) among the approaches she uses alongside cognitive-behavioral strategies. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas as needed. Sessions typically mix talking, skill practice, and goal-focused planning.
She has worked with teenagers, children, adults, singles, and couples, and she highlights experience with women’s issues such as low self-worth and finding greater peace in daily life. Deborah mentions recent university classes as part of her ongoing professional activity.
People who choose Deborah can expect a respectful and direct counseling relationship. She aims to translate therapeutic ideas into clear steps clients can try between sessions. To begin, she asks clients to identify concerns, set goals, and focus on practical outcomes.
How Deborah blends EFT, ACT and CBT in remote sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming difficult emotions and the interaction patterns that keep them locked in. It can help when relationship dynamics or attachment feelings are hard to name or shift. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress or mood problems going and uses practical exercises to change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches acceptance of difficult feelings while clarifying values and taking committed action toward them.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation helps decide whether EFT, CBT, ACT, or a mix is the best fit for the issue at hand.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. Some formats also let people use audio-only when bandwidth is limited or schedule shorter sessions during a work break. Discussing practical needs during the first appointment helps shape a plan that fits daily life while keeping therapy focused on real goals.
