Erin Goddard , LCSW

Erin Goddard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with seven years of experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. She approaches therapy with respect for each person’s own story, believing that individuals bring important strengths and insight to the work of change. Erin blends evidence-based methods with a warm, client-centered stance so that sessions feel genuine and focused on practical progress.

As an LCSW - a mental health professional trained in clinical assessment and psychotherapy - Erin uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to meet each person where they are. These approaches are applied to a wide range of concerns, including stress, relationship and family challenges, parenting issues, addictions, self-esteem, career matters, and coping with life changes.

Erin encourages a collaborative process that emphasizes clear goals and realistic steps. She recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage and frames early sessions around identifying priorities and developing strategies that fit the client’s values and daily life. Her style is supportive, pragmatic, and focused on building skills that help people move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches for flexible online care

Erin integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters most, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy is central to Erin’s style and focuses on providing an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach supports relationship, family, and self-esteem concerns by fostering insight and self-directed growth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for depression, anxiety, coping with change, and building practical coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor techniques that fit the individual’s life and priorities.

Online sessions with Erin can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or clients who live outside traditional service areas. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment and to access a licensed professional from a range of locations.
