About Azelia

Azelia Goings is an Ohio-licensed social worker (LISW) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and family challenges, grief, anger, and life transitions including ADHD-related difficulties.

Background and approach

With 19 years of clinical experience, she works with clients on practical skills like motivation, self-esteem, coping with compassion fatigue, and workplace or career stress. Her additional interests include supporting clients exploring BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture as well as addressing caregiver strain, communication breakdowns, isolation, and issues around forgiveness and self-love.

Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping each conversation and treatment plan to the individual's needs. She blends client-centered principles with evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to build practical tools for daily life.

Azelia aims to empower clients to make meaningful changes, helping them take the courageous first steps toward greater clarity, purpose, and wellbeing.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and collaborates to build goals that matter to the individual. This approach helps people feel heard and guides personalized treatment that fits their values and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing challenges like motivation and self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for people with varying schedules and commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care and use therapy tools in day-to-day life while connecting with a licensed professional from wherever is most convenient.
