About Azelia

Azelia Goings is a licensed independent social worker with 19 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and career or life-change challenges. She also supports those coping with grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, anger, and issues around self-esteem.

Azelia works in a straightforward and respectful way. She listens first and then helps people set simple, realistic goals. Conversations and plans are shaped to fit each person's needs instead of using one fixed method.

02

How Azelia works

She draws on approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix helps with practical skills such as calm-down tools, communication steps, and managing painful thoughts. Sessions often focus on what someone can do between meetings to feel better.

Azelia is comfortable talking about caregiving stress, workplace struggles, family conflict, divorce and separation, and concerns tied to kink or alternative sex culture. She also addresses shame, guilt, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Her aim is to help people feel more capable and clear about next steps.

People meet her in Ohio and sessions are offered in English. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes.

Online support options

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people talk through what matters to them and decide the goals they want to work toward. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity across weeks.
