About Deborah
Deborah Goulet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Colorado with 22 years of professional experience. She offers a calm, respectful presence and wants to hear each person's story. Deborah focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety while addressing related concerns like grief, trauma, and addiction.
She uses a step-by-step way of working that recognizes change takes time. Sessions typically include a check-in about what is happening now and one practical skill or piece of information to try between meetings.
Background and approach
That steady pace helps people build confidence and move toward goals at their own speed. Deborah values diversity and treats people with respect. She supports those coping with depression, loss, or the effects of trauma and abuse.
She also brings experience helping people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, substance use issues, and challenges tied to attachment or communication. Her practice includes attention to more specific stressors such as first responder issues, domestic violence, hearing impairment, HIV/AIDS, and the needs of people involved in BDSM or kink communities.
Deborah works with co-occurring concerns and complex situations by focusing on what is most pressing in the moment. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She speaks English and holds social work credentials including LCSW and CSW in Colorado.
To begin, a short questionnaire helps match people and set an initial schedule.
Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility
Deborah offers evidence-based approaches that focus on practical steps and skills people can use between sessions. One approach emphasizes stage-based change, helping people move through readiness, action, and maintenance with clear next steps and small goals to build momentum. This method is useful for stress, anxiety, addiction, and other concerns where gradual progress helps.Another common focus is skills-based work that teaches concrete techniques for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and coping with grief or trauma. These techniques are taught in short, doable pieces so people can practice them between meetings and notice what helps most.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Deborah works with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She treats this as a collaboration and adjusts the plan as people try tools and report what helps.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible to fit work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
