Deborah Gaudet , LPCC

Deborah Gaudet offers a hopeful, realistic, and client-directed approach to therapy that blends depth-oriented ideas with practical tools. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University and draws on both Jungian perspectives and cognitive behavioral methods to help people address long-standing patterns and immediate challenges. Her work is informed by a range of theorists and clinicians, including Carl Rodgers, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Jacques Lacan, and Bracha Ettinger.

Based in the mountains of northern New Mexico, Deborah brings energy and commitment to a wide array of concerns, from trauma and addiction recovery to grief, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. She also supports people facing intense life-stage stresses such as overwhelming parenting or caregiving responsibilities. By attending closely to emotion and psychological experience, she helps clients create shifts in situations that have felt stuck or stagnant for years or decades.

Her style is described by its friendliness, thoroughness, and practicality, combining compassion with actionable strategies. While valuing individual growth, she also acknowledges systemic influences - including income inequality and inequalities based on sex and racialization - as important factors in clients' decisions and paths toward healing. Deborah approaches the therapeutic encounter with belief in ongoing development and the possibility of meaningful transformation at any stage of life.

Approach-Focused Online Care with Deborah Gaudet

Deborah integrates several therapeutic approaches to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and safety in relationships, helping people understand how early bonds shape current interactions and reduce relational stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience, offering a respectful, empathetic space where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Deborah works collaboratively to determine what fits each person’s goals, preferences, and circumstances. She tailors methods to the individual, combining insight-oriented and skills-based work when that best supports healing and growth.

Online therapy with Deborah is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional times and allow therapists and licensed professionals to work with people across distances while focusing on meaningful, practical progress.
