Deborah Goza

License Type(s): LA LPC 9822
Mental Wellness Specialties: Stress, AnxietyTrauma and abuseParenting issuesAnger managementSelf esteem
23 years offering treatment
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Louisiana with more than 23 years of professional work experience, including recent university classes. I am a down-to-earth individual, with an approach to counseling that includes facts and therapy that "makes sense". I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I have worked with clients with a wide range of problems, some of which are anxiety, depression, grief, life issues, trauma, and many more. I love working with teenagers, children and adults as well as singles and couples. My approach to therapy is first to learn about yourself. Sometimes it is hard to see problems in ourselves or to understand why we do certain things, when we can so clearly see these things in others. That is because so much is in our subconscious that automatically controls us, and because it is in our subconscious we can't see it. It is only with insight to ourselves (having the subconscious revealed to us by therapy or some means) that we can consciously begin to understand and then possibly change our circumstances. I use scientifically proven methods to help you begin to set goals and achieve them. I have been trained in and use a cognitive-behavioral approach, sometimes incorporating person-centered, humanistic, psychodynamic and other proven successful methods in therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.
