Deborah Goulet, LCSW, CSW

Deborah Goulet brings 22 years of professional experience as a clinician who supports people through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and depression. She holds a Masters in Social Work and maintains LCSW and CSW social work licenses, reflecting advanced clinical training and years of practice in Colorado. Deborah centers respect and welcomes diversity, inviting each person to share their story so she can offer informed, compassionate support tailored to their needs.

Her approach emphasizes practical skills and information - each session blends a review of current challenges with at least one new strategy or piece of knowledge to help clients move forward. She uses the Stages of Change framework to meet people where they are, acknowledging that change unfolds gradually and that support, safety, and clear information are essential for progress. With particular experience in addiction, trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, chronic pain and illness, and a wide range of mental health concerns, Deborah offers steady guidance across transitions and crises.

Deborah aims to empower clients to make choices aligned with their goals, supporting decision making and skill building without judgment. Based in Colorado, she provides therapy in English and works collaboratively to help clients identify achievable steps toward the life changes they seek.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Deborah integrates the Stages of Change framework into her online practice - a motivational model that helps identify where someone is in the process of change and guides collaborative next steps. This approach is useful for people facing addiction, habits they want to change, or any transition that unfolds over time.

She also focuses on skills-oriented sessions that introduce practical tools and strategies, teaching one new skill or piece of information each meeting to help manage stress, anxiety, grief, or chronic illness. These skill-building practices make coping more manageable between sessions and support steady progress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Deborah collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Deborah is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to access consistent support around busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility concerns, or geographic limitations, while maintaining the same goals-focused and evidence-informed care delivered in traditional settings.
