Deborah Gaudet, LPCC

Deborah Gaudet is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with ten years of experience. She earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University and practices from Northern New Mexico. Her style is warm and hopeful while staying realistic and focused on the person who comes to therapy.

She blends cognitive behavioral ideas with a client-centered attitude and attachment-aware thinking. Sessions tend to be practical and down-to-earth. Deborah pays attention to feelings and life stories and helps people notice small changes that can relieve long-standing problems.

Deborah works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties. She also helps with career concerns, parenting or caregiving strain, and complicated loss or life transitions. She is mindful of social factors like income and discrimination when helping people make choices about their healing.

Her approach draws on emotion-focused work and existential ideas about meaning, along with Jungian influences. That mix supports exploring feelings, patterns, and values while finding realistic steps to try between sessions. Deborah describes her style as friendly, thorough, and practical.

People who want collaboration, emotional depth, and clear tools often find this style useful. Sessions focus on what matters now while also attending to past experiences that shape current behavior. The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes, and building skills that fit each person's life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches alongside a client-centered stance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to notice different results. Attachment-Based work looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can help with intimacy issues and long-term anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah collaborates with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit their goals, needs, and daily life. She will adjust methods over time so the plan stays useful and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for emotional work, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can support ongoing coaching or quick check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid busy schedules or hard-to-reach locations.
