LCSW in Florida with four years of clinical experience, Nikki Goins focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem, and depression. She works with adolescents and adults and also addresses substance use and behavioral concerns. Her practice centers on building practical skills and steady coping strategies.
Nikki uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage daily stressors. She emphasizes straightforward tools clients can use between sessions. Sessions aim to increase insight and strengthen emotional regulation skills.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors tied to mood. DBT teaches skills for emotion regulation and reducing impulsive actions.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy helps set short-term goals and identify steps that produce quick, practical change. Nikki often uses this when clients want focused work on a specific problem or transition. She frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Nikki holds a Masters degree from the University of Texas at Arlington and practices under the LCSW credential. In session she concentrates on concrete strategies for coping, relapse prevention for substance concerns, and addressing patterns like codependency, shame, and obsessive behaviors. She encourages measurable progress over time.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically include short skill-building exercises, homework assignments, and step-by-step behavior experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and obsessive behaviors.DBT centers on teaching concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Delivered remotely, DBT-style work can include practicing skills in session and setting small practice goals for real-life situations, which helps with impulsivity, anger, and mood swings.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy concentrates on clear, achievable goals and small changes that lead to noticeable differences. In an online setting this often means focused sessions that outline immediate next steps and track short-term progress.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process includes reviewing what has helped before and trying techniques to see what works best.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people use remote sessions to keep therapy consistent with school, work, or caregiving commitments.
