About Nikki
Nikki Goins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who centers her work on practical, evidence-based approaches. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can learn tools to manage overwhelming feelings and everyday stress. Nikki helps individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, and low self-esteem.
She uses straightforward strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Sessions focus on building skills for emotional regulation, reducing unhelpful thinking patterns, and setting small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
The emphasis is on useful, hands-on techniques rather than long explanations. Nikki has been practicing since 2022 and holds a master’s degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. Her clinical experience includes work with people facing substance use concerns, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, phobias, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety.
She aims to help clients recognize strengths they already have and put those strengths to use. In the room she keeps things collaborative and direct. Clients can expect short-term strategies when those fit, and longer work when needed.
She supports people as they try new behaviors, handle setbacks, and track progress over time. People looking for help with anger, impulsivity, codependency, or addiction-related challenges will find a focus on practical skills and steady problem solving. Nikki asks that anyone interested confirm current session options before booking.

Everything Nikki lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Nikki's practice.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Many of the approaches she uses are focused on clear skills practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. It can help with anxiety, depression, phobias, and obsessive thoughts by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It is useful for handling strong emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving day-to-day coping. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy looks at what is working now and builds on small, concrete goals to create change more quickly.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that fit. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what helps most.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to check-in during a lunch break or after work.
