Dr. Verdale Goins, LPC

Dr. Verdale Goins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He brings clinical perspective shaped by military service and a practical focus on helping people manage life stressors. He works with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes.

Dr. Goins emphasizes short, focused conversations to begin sessions and learn what matters most to each person. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify thoughts and actions that get in the way, then tries small, doable changes. Sessions often include discussion, skill practice, and planning steps to try between meetings.

His background includes work addressing mood and anger concerns and additional attention to issues like infidelity, jealousy, veteran and armed forces matters, and multicultural concerns. He also has experience in life coaching and substance-related challenges as noted in his background.

Dr. Goins typically begins a session with a brief personal check-in and then invites clients to share their history and current concerns. That structure helps shape a practical plan tailored to specific goals. He aims for straightforward steps clients can use outside sessions.

With three years recorded in the supplied profile as recent clinical experience alongside his military background, he uses an approach that blends practical skill-building with goal-focused conversations. People who want clear, action-oriented sessions may find this style a good fit.

Approach and online therapy options

Dr. Goins uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and helps people try different ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear goals and small, practical steps to move toward those goals rather than long discussions of the past.

Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approach fits best based on their goals, preferences, and immediate needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use remote sessions to keep steady progress while working around daily responsibilities.
