About Verdale
Dr. Verdale Goins combines a focused clinical path with a grounded, practical style of care.
Background and approach
He is identified as LPC and has three years of professional experience practicing in Texas. His work centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, and he also addresses concerns such as infidelity, jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, and multicultural matters.
Dr. Goins favors approaches that emphasize present-focused change and skills-building, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients develop coping strategies and reduce distress.
Sessions typically begin by exchanging brief personal background information so he can listen to each person’s history and tailor an effective plan. He offers individual support and aims to teach concrete tools for managing mood, anger, and the everyday challenges that interfere with wellbeing.
Practicing in Texas and offering services in English, he currently accepts clients through insurance pathways and provides several online session formats. Prospective clients can expect a practical, collaborative tone that prioritizes clear goals and steps for change.
Applying CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Dr. Goins draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical coping skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related reactions. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify attainable goals and build on existing strengths, concentrating on small, concrete steps that move a person toward clearer outcomes.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to explore which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques over time if something is not working. Sessions begin with brief background sharing and a listening phase to shape a tailored plan together.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to engage in structured CBT exercises, brief coaching-style exchanges, and follow-up messaging between meetings, supporting continuity of care while fitting into everyday life.
