About Deborah
Deborah Gaudet is a licensed professional clinical counselor with ten years of experience. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University and practices from Northern New Mexico. She brings a calm, hopeful attitude and a practical focus to sessions.
Her work emphasizes emotion and personal meaning. She leans on ideas from Jungian thought and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people untangle patterns that cause distress.
Background and approach
Sessions are friendly and direct, aimed at creating change that feels real and doable. Deborah helps with anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and mood concerns such as bipolar. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting pressures, caregiving strain, body image and eating or sleeping problems.
She works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and identity concerns including LGBT matters. Her style blends client-centered listening with structured tools when helpful. She pays attention to how systems like income or social inequality affect a person’s options and choices.
That context informs treatment decisions and goal-setting. Sessions aim to shift stuck patterns by attending to feeling and behavior together. Deborah offers practical steps alongside deeper exploration so clients leave with new ways to cope and clearer next steps.
How Deborah’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. It helps people understand trust, closeness, and fear of abandonment so they can build more stable connections. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance to help clients feel heard. That open stance helps people name their priorities and guide their own change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses clear tools to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends listening with practical steps and checks in to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone needs flexibility during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into life and keep momentum between meetings.
