Ewa Godinez , LPC

Ewa Godinez brings a grounded, empathetic approach to therapy informed by a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, earned in 2018 with an emphasis in addiction. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Licensed Addiction Counselor, and a National Certified Counselor, and she has experience supporting people across the lifespan - from teenagers and young adults to older adults - in a variety of settings including community college, private practice, prison, inpatient hospital, and detox facilities.

Ewa emphasizes a person-centered and existential orientation that meets each person where they are, combined with practical strategies drawn from mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses solution-focused tools, motivational interviewing, and reality therapy, and she is EMDR trained with familiarity in trauma-focused methods. That blend allows her to address issues like addiction, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and many other concerns.

Described in her own words as real, honest, relatable, and empathetic, she aims to encourage and empower while gently challenging clients to sit with discomfort - the place where meaningful change often begins. Ewa seeks to walk alongside clients as they clarify values, overcome obstacles, and build toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Ewa uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's needs and perspectives guide the work; this approach helps people explore values, build self-understanding, and strengthen personal agency. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness that can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ewa collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She tailors treatment plans and adjusts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Ewa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who focus on practical, client-centered progress.
