About Azelia

Azelia Goings is an Ohio LISW with 19 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting and family concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, anger, career questions, and life purpose concerns. She also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, and workplace and young adult issues.

Azelia focuses on clear, practical conversation. Sessions look at what is getting in the way now and what skills can help next. She uses client-centered methods while drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, DBT skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support change.

She helps people talk through parenting strain, communication problems, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. She also works with people navigating BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture when that is part of the concern. Azelia pays attention to problems like guilt, shame, isolation, and low self-esteem and helps people find manageable steps forward.

Her approach emphasizes collaborative planning and concrete tools. Clients can expect to practice skills between sessions and revisit what works. Azelia aims to keep conversations straightforward and focused on the client’s priorities.

Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Ohio. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s priorities, helping people clarify what matters and choose next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It helps with anxiety, depression, and practical problems by teaching specific strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines and then suggest which methods to try. That plan can change over time based on what the client finds useful, so decisions are collaborative rather than fixed.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow sessions during a work break, avoid the need to be on camera for every meeting, or make sessions possible when scheduling in-person visits is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered work to these practical formats to keep sessions focused on clear goals and step-by-step skills.
