About Verdale
Dr. Verdale Goins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three years of documented experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and coping with life changes.
He also addresses infidelity, jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, and multicultural concerns. Sessions are offered in English and use a mix of therapeutic tools to help people find practical coping strategies. Dr.
Goins begins sessions with a brief personal background and then listens to the client’s history to build rapport and gather information.
Background and approach
He uses that information to shape a straightforward plan for therapy. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Solution-Focused Therapy to target thoughts, behaviors, and short-term goals. People often come to him for help managing mood and anger issues or for support after major life changes.
He can work with those dealing with relationship conflicts, grief, or the stress that comes with career or personal transitions. He also brings perspective from military experience to discussions about veteran and armed forces issues. In sessions he aims to teach coping skills that reduce troublesome symptoms and improve daily functioning.
His style is pragmatic and direct, with an emphasis on small, achievable steps. That approach helps clients practice new ways of thinking and responding between sessions. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session according to the therapist’s availability.
How his approaches work online and in sessions
Dr. Goins uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that keep them stuck. That method often involves setting small behavioral experiments and practicing new responses between sessions to lower anxiety and improve mood.He also applies Solution-Focused Therapy, which narrows in on immediate goals and practical steps. This approach is useful when someone wants faster, goal-driven work to handle a specific problem like relationship conflict or coping after loss.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may adjust over time as progress is reviewed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skill teaching and role play. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or brief problem-solving between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and life schedules.
