01About Deborah
Deborah Gaudet brings ten years of counseling experience to her work from her base in Northern New Mexico. She holds an LPCC and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University. Deborah keeps sessions practical and hopeful, focusing on what clients want to change and how to get there.
Her style is warm and client-centered. She pays attention to emotions and life stories, and she uses that understanding to help people shift patterns that feel stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and grounded in everyday language so parents and busy adults can follow and apply ideas between visits. Deborah works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses eating and sleeping problems, caregiver strain, body image, and career transitions.
Her approach makes room for life stage challenges and complex situations like chronic illness or co-occurring conditions. Clinically, she blends attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotion-focused work. She also draws on existential and Jungian perspectives to help people find meaning and rebuild resilience.
The focus is on practical steps and emotional understanding rather than jargon. Deborah also names larger social factors in the work, such as economic and identity-based inequalities that shape stress and options. She supports clients who want clear next steps, realistic coping tools, and a space to process painful events.
Her aim is steady progress and greater everyday functioning.

How Deborah's Approaches Translate Online
Attachment-based work focuses on safety in relationships and patterns that repeat over time; it helps people understand how early bonds affect current connections and reactions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, giving people space to tell their story and reach their own insights through a supportive relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to create practical changes for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the online process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needs change, treating therapy as a collaborative effort.
Online sessions can fit into busy lives because Deborah offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face over distance. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or other demands.
