About Ewa

Ewa Godinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who brings five years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, earned in 2018, and has practiced in settings that include community college, independent practice, prison, inpatient hospital, and detox facilities.

Her training includes focus on addiction and trauma-informed care, and she integrates practical, evidence-informed tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her practice.

Her style blends person-centered and existential perspectives with a solution-focused orientation, emphasizing mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns, relationship difficulties, and a wide range of life transitions.

Ewa aims to create a welcoming, honest, and empathetic therapeutic space where clients are encouraged and gently challenged to grow. She meets people where they are and works collaboratively to address issues like attachment and family-origin patterns, grief, intimacy-related struggles, and coping with change.

Clients can expect a therapist who values clarity and practicality while attending to emotional depth, offering guidance informed by trauma-focused approaches and EMDR training when appropriate.

Integrating evidence-informed approaches into online care

Ewa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, a practical approach often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. She also incorporates elements of Client-Centered Therapy, creating a supportive, non-judgmental relationship that prioritizes the client's perspective and fosters self-exploration and personal growth. When helpful, she uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can reduce impulsivity and improve relationships.

Determining which approach or combination of approaches fits best is a collaborative process. Ewa works with clients to clarify goals, assess needs, and try methods that align with personal preferences and life circumstances, adjusting direction as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life transitions and can support consistent practice of therapeutic skills between sessions while accommodating different comfort levels with remote work.
