Ewa Godinez, LPC

Ewa Godinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and life transitions. She uses straightforward, person-centered care to support people through hard moments and help them move toward clearer choices and healthier habits.

She trained at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs and has five years of clinical experience across community colleges, private practice, correctional settings, inpatient hospitals, and detox programs. That range means she has worked with many kinds of concerns and life situations.

Ewa combines a person-centered stance with practical tools. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and coping. She also uses Emotionally-Focused and existential ideas to look at meaning, values, and relationships.

Her approach is direct and empathic. She offers encouragement and will challenge clients gently when needed. Sessions focus on clear goals, teaching coping skills, and making small steps that add up to real change.

People come to her for help with depression, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy worries, parenting strain, body image, codependency, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She emphasizes meeting people where they are and working together to reduce obstacles and build a livable plan.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience first. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own answers, which can work well in a conversation-based online session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is action-oriented and teaches skills to change thinking and behavior; it often includes homework and simple exercises that fit into daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, offering concrete practices someone can use between sessions to manage strong feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be revisited as therapy progresses to keep things practical and useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using digital tools for worksheets, mood tracking, and practicing new skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to the online setting to focus on real-life changes and problem-solving.
