About Verdale
Dr. Verdale Goins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. He blends practical therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes.
Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills that clients can apply between meetings. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals and build on what already works.
Background and approach
These approaches are meant to be direct and results-oriented, with an emphasis on problem solving and coping skills. In sessions he begins with a brief personal check-in and then listens to the client’s story to shape a plan. That routine helps him quickly identify priorities and tailor the work.
He also has a background as an Air Force veteran and brings that life experience into his practice when relevant. Dr. Goins works with issues such as relationship strain, infidelity, jealousy, veteran and armed forces concerns, multicultural challenges, mood and anger problems, and substance-related difficulties.
He offers individual talk therapy and life coaching focused on gaining practical coping strategies. People who prefer straightforward, task-focused sessions often find his style helpful. Therapy sessions follow a match-and-plan process.
Clients set goals, try specific techniques between sessions, and check progress together. This steady, skills-based approach aims to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning over time.
Practical approaches for online therapy and goal work
Dr. Goins uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is usually hands-on and helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching specific coping skills and short exercises.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and build on strengths. This approach looks for small, concrete changes clients can make right away to move toward their goals and reduce distress.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest strategies and check how they feel for you. Together you can adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls are useful when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break. Live chat and messaging let people share updates and get support between live meetings. These options make it easier to work on goals without traveling and help therapy fit into busy lives.
