About Azelia
Azelia Goings, LISW, supports people facing stress, anxiety, career strain, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and grief. She focuses on practical steps to improve coping, build self-esteem, and address burnout or compassion fatigue. Her tone is warm and direct, and she aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for people juggling busy lives.
She uses a mix of conversation and skills practice to help clients notice what is getting in the way and try different ways of responding. Sessions often include goal-setting, problem-solving, and ways to reduce intense emotions. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and to build momentum toward realistic goals.
Her background includes 19 years of professional experience working with a range of life concerns. That experience shapes a pragmatic approach - the focus is on what can change now. She adapts how she talks and plans work to fit each person’s needs and life situation.
Azelia treats matters related to ADHD, workplace stress, parenting strain, and issues that come up around relationships and family roles. She also supports exploration of sexuality and alternative sex culture, including BDSM and kink, without judgment. Many people come for help with isolation, guilt, or navigating a separation.
She holds an LISW credential in Ohio, and sessions are offered in English. To begin, people use the platform Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Azelia draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the person’s pace, helping them name what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning helps shape short-term goals and which skills to focus on between sessions.
Confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness or CBT exercises during a regular break or between commitments, so therapeutic work fits into everyday life.
