Ewa Godinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs in 2018. Ewa aims to create a direct and compassionate space where people can address hard problems and move forward. In session she keeps things practical and person-centered. Ewa uses clear tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and she draws on Emotionally-Focused and Existential approaches to help people make sense of painful feelings. She often works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and grief. Clients can expect a straightforward, empathic presence. Ewa says she will encourage and challenge clients gently, helping them try new approaches when old patterns no longer work. She emphasizes mindfulness and solution-focused steps to manage daily struggles and relationship concerns. Her background includes work in community college settings, independent practice, prison, inpatient hospitals, and detox facilities. That variety informs how she adapts methods to different life situations, from parenting strain to career change and intimacy-related issues. Ewa offers help with a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, family of origin problems, codependency, communication struggles, and recovery from domestic violence or substance use. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting a person where they are. In practice this means sessions center on the client's priorities and the therapist reflects and supports the client's own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with strong emotions and relationship problems. Finding the right approach is part of therapy and will be a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try approaches that feel useful. Over time they adjust strategies so the work fits the client's needs and pace. The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options when you match and schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try therapy from different everyday settings and still use CBT worksheets, mindfulness practices, or DBT skills coaching in conversation. If you want to explore remote sessions, ask about the current formats during the matching process so you can pick what works best for your routine.
