Deborah Goulet , LCSW, CSW

Deborah Goulet, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and CSW (Certified Social Worker), has built a 22-year career supporting people through life transitions and mental health challenges from her practice in Colorado. She approaches each person with respect for diversity and a readiness to listen, inviting clients to share their stories while offering practical tools and guidance tailored to their situation.

Her clinical focus includes stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and addictions. Over the years she has worked with individuals facing complex needs such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, attachment difficulties, and co-occurring disorders. Deborah emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-based process that centers safety, information, and incremental progress.

Grounded in the Stages of Change framework, she supports clients through choice and readiness, meeting them where they are and helping them build skills to move forward. In sessions she typically reviews current concerns and introduces a new skill or piece of information to support ongoing growth. Deborah aims to empower clients with knowledge, practical strategies, and steady support as they pursue their goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Deborah employs a stage-of-change oriented approach that helps clients identify their readiness for change and take manageable steps toward their goals. This framework supports work on substance use, behavioral changes, and recovery by aligning interventions with each person’s current motivation and capacity.

She also uses skills-based interventions, introducing practical coping strategies and tools in each session to address stress, anxiety, and grief. These evidence-minded techniques focus on building concrete abilities clients can use between sessions to manage symptoms and navigate difficult moments.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Deborah will work with each client to explore needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt methods over time to find the best fit for the individual’s circumstances.

Online therapy with Deborah is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional and to integrate therapy into day-to-day life.
