Ewa Godinez , LPC

Ewa Godinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends clinical training with a warm, straightforward style to help people move through stress, addiction, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She completed a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in addiction at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs in 2018 and brings a range of clinical experience from community college and private practice to prison, inpatient hospital, and detox settings. Her work spans the lifespan, supporting teenagers, young adults, and older adults.

Ewa centers her practice on respect, empathy, and realistic growth. She draws from client-centered and existential perspectives while using practical, evidence-based tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also integrates mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and reality therapy, and is EMDR trained with familiarity in trauma-focused approaches. That combination supports both immediate coping skills and deeper exploration of values, meaning, and attachment patterns.

Known for being honest, relatable, and encouraging, she aims to gently challenge clients when change feels uncomfortable so progress can follow. Ewa helps clients work through anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, intimacy and family issues, and career or identity concerns, meeting each person where they are and partnering with them to clarify goals and build sustainable change.

Approaches for Online Support and Skill Building

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgmental space where the person leads the pace and direction of change. It helps with self-esteem, relationship patterns, and clarifying personal values by prioritizing empathy and collaboration.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns where concrete coping strategies are helpful.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It supports people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsive behaviors by building specific skills for managing strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ewa works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to identify which methods fit best with each person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and can adapt techniques as work progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into daily life, maintain continuity after transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
