More about Aurthur

  • 7 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

My formal education has prepared me to counsel individual adults, adolescents, and children; groups; couples; parents; and families. I have completed specific course work in working with at-risk youth, LGBTQ population, individual with gender related issues, chemically dependent individuals, individuals/group in crisis situations, and clients with personality disorders. Currently, I hold a doctorate in professional counseling and a license of professional counseling. I currently work as a director of therapeutic service and student support service for a achievement school district in the Delta of Mississippi.

Counseling Background

I have worked with the following populations: Elderly (Caring Days, Community Counseling Services), Intellectually Disable (Community Counseling Services), At-risk youth children/adolescents with behavioral, emotional, and psychiatric issues (Diamond Grove Center), addicts, and college population. As previously stated, I offer individual, group, and family services to individual with personal, behavioral, emotional, and psychiatric issues. My theoretical orientation is Reality Therapy, which is cognitive based in its approach, due to my alignment with William Glasser perspective on human nature and behavior. His beliefs align with not helping people find defenses for their negative or inappropriate behaviors, but helping them acknowledge their behavior as being inappropriate or negative and then to learn how to act in a more logical and productive manner.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr. Goodwin is by far the best counsellor I’ve had - he does more to offer actionable advice and stays away from coddling so I’m not just nurturing unhealthy ways of thinking about my situation, there’s more perspective given there. He references techniques that are established, scary but helpful because you don’t engage in therapy to feel comfortable, and that has been very useful in only 2 sessions.

I was definitely a little unsure about signing up for Better Help in the first place and very unsure if speaking to someone would actually be helpful. I was matched with Dr. Goodwin shortly after signing up and my concerns were quickly put at ease. He's an exceptional listener and recommender, always making sure to take everything you have to say on board before he speaks. He's great at getting into the small details that you say, or don't, and offering constructive approaches to fixing your problems. He never tells you what you need, but tells you how to find it which I really appreciate. He's been a great supporter of mine and I couldn't recommend him enough.
