About Azelia
Azelia Goings is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, parenting concerns, and self-esteem challenges. She also supports those working through grief, relationship strain, career doubts, and life changes.
Her style is practical and direct. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills. Azelia uses conversation to identify what’s getting in the way, then tries straightforward strategies to reduce reactivity and build better communication.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in each person’s needs. Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing appear when useful to increase awareness and sustain change.
Azelia is comfortable addressing concerns related to intimacy, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and workplace issues. She also works with people curious about BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture, and with caregivers facing stress and burnout. Topics like forgiveness, guilt, and isolation are part of her remit.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect nearly two decades of practice in Ohio. Her approach emphasizes steady progress: small steps, consistent practice, and clearer communication with people who matter to you.
How her approaches translate to online work
Azelia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thoughts that fuel anger and distress. CBT breaks down situations into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test new responses and reduce reactive behavior.She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills into sessions to teach concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance techniques. DBT skills help when feelings escalate quickly and someone needs tools to steady themselves. Client-Centered Therapy guides the conversation so goals reflect what each person values and wants to change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Azelia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together.
