About Ewa
Ewa Godinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. She completed a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs in 2018, with an emphasis in addiction. Her listed concerns include stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting, relationship and family issues, and a range of related areas such as grief, intimacy, and compassion fatigue.
She describes a person-centered and existential approach, and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Her training and background include work in community college settings, private practice, prison, inpatient hospitals, and detox facilities. She also notes experience with trauma-focused work.
In sessions she aims for direct, honest interactions and gentle challenge when needed. She says she encourages people to face discomfort as part of change, and she uses motivational interviewing and reality therapy techniques as needed. Expect practical conversation and skills you can try between sessions.
Ewa highlights work related to family and parenting concerns among other relationship topics. She lists additional focuses such as abandonment and attachment issues, blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin problems.
She works in English and practices in Colorado. For people wanting to begin, she asks that they use the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says to build understanding and calm. It can help people who need someone to hear their concerns about parenting, relationship strain, or life changes and want support that follows their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then teaches practical skills to change patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress and provides clear strategies that can be practiced between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. It can be useful for people managing intense feelings, relationship conflict, or compulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will look at goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then try methods together. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions emphasize skills practice, reflective conversation, or trauma-focused work.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists can suggest practical at-home exercises, worksheets, and real-time skills coaching that fit daily life.
