Andrea Goodwin , LPC

Andrea Goodwin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 16 years of experience. She uses respectful, person-focused care to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes.

Her practice centers on listening first and helping people name what matters to them. Sessions are practical and direct. Goals are set together and progress is reviewed in straightforward ways.

Andrea draws on client-centered methods to build trust and on cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking. She also brings an existential perspective to help people find meaning when life feels uncertain. These approaches are used to address everyday struggles and deeper patterns alike.

People come to Andrea for help with adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric issues, attachment struggles, body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and family of origin issues. She also works with challenges such as domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Andrea aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can take manageable steps toward clearer thinking and greater emotional balance.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are, helping people feel heard and build self-trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking. Existential therapy helps people face big questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility when life feels uncertain or empty.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Andrea works with each person to identify needs and goals, then adjusts methods based on what helps most. She reviews progress together and shifts focus if something isn’t working well for the client.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, and chat or text can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
