About Deborah Goza
Deborah Goza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with more than 19 years of professional experience, including recent university coursework. She brings a down-to-earth, practical approach to counseling that emphasizes clear, sensible strategies alongside empathy and respect.
Throughout her career she has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and everyday life challenges. She enjoys working with teenagers, children, adults, singles, and couples, and has specific experience addressing many issues that affect women such as low self-worth and finding inner calm and functional balance.
Her method begins with helping clients learn more about themselves. Because much of human behavior is driven by subconscious patterns, she focuses on developing insight so clients can recognize what guides their reactions and then make intentional changes. She uses scientifically supported techniques, primarily cognitive behavioral strategies, and at times integrates person-centered, humanistic, psychodynamic, and other proven therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs.
Deborah individualizes dialogue and treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique goals and situation. She believes that identifying problems, setting clear goals, and maintaining a focus on outcomes supports meaningful progress. She offers steady support for those ready to take the first step toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
