Dr. Verdale Goins, LPC

Dr. Verdale Goins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He brings three years of professional LPC practice to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and life changes.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide practical change. Sessions typically begin with a brief personal check-in and then move into listening to the client’s concerns to shape a clear plan. Dr. Goins aims to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, workable steps that fit real life.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is not working and what might help next. The work often includes learning coping skills for mood, anger, or persistent worries. Practical exercises and short-term goals are common tools in sessions.

Dr. Goins also notes experience related to infidelity, jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, and multicultural concerns. He integrates those perspectives when they relate to a person’s current situation and goals.

Sessions are offered in English and provided through online formats. People seeking therapy are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process and then schedule sessions according to availability.

He emphasizes collaboration and concrete steps over long medical explanations, aiming to make each appointment focused and understandable.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. Online sessions let the therapist and client work together to notice patterns and try small experiments between meetings to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear, short-term goals and practical steps toward them. It’s useful when someone wants focused change on a current problem, like coping with a life change or repairing trust after infidelity.

Choosing an approach happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods that match those goals. If something does not fit, the plan is revisited and adjusted in collaboration so the work stays useful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful when visual cues make a difference, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or midweek support. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep consistent contact between appointments.
