My approach emphasizes tailored care, offering solutions that adapt to your own recovery path.
At Goldberg Recovery Counseling, I offer personalized online therapy and coaching for hard-to-break cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns, co-occurring conditions, and related mental-health challenges — tailored individually to meet the needs of a diverse range of clients. This page outlines the core principles behind my practice, the evidence-based methods I draw from, and what you can expect from our work together.
Who I Work With
I work with adults who are navigating complex challenges such as habitual or addictive issues, enduring vicious cycles, or dual diagnosis. These often include substance or alcohol misuse, addictive behaviors, chronic stress and burnout, strained relationships, and mood imbalance — alone or in combination with other mental-health conditions.
Many of my clients have tried traditional treatment methods without finding the right fit, and were looking for a more personalized, comprehensive, and applicable approach. Unlike the common practice in the dual-diagnosis field, I tailor my approach to meet you exactly where you are. This means, put simply, that you and I engage in a genuinely collaborative teamwork — free of judgment, bias, or forceful tactics.
My ultimate goal is to provide you with the tools, guidance, and empowerment you need to make proactive changes, in a style and pace that align with your needs, circumstances, and level of readiness.
How I Do It
Integrated Treatment Design
The personalized treatment plans I design are dynamic and tailored to fit my clients’ specific realities — employing methods that are flexible and responsive to each client’s unique situation. I draw selectively from a range of established therapies — including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Harm Reduction, and psychodynamics — to adapt to each client's individual process.
Treatment Engagement
In between sessions, I maintain an open line of communication which I will encourage you to use, whether through texts, voice notes, or emails. While I don’t provide constant interaction, these tools are there for you to practice sharing insights and challenges, respond to between-sessions assignments, or pose questions as they arise, ensuring that your recovery process remains active even outside of our formal sessions.
Aiming for the Long-Run
To prepare you for this transformation, I focus on practical, actionable recovery strategies that are grounded in your day-to-day reality. I work exclusively with what shows to be most effective for you, ensuring that the path forward feels both manageable and relevant to your life. My primary goal is to help you implement meaningful internal and external changes that can support long-term recovery.
What's in It for You
The dynamic treatment plans I create are guided by lived experience, academic knowledge, and clinical insight. Combining counseling, coaching, and psychotherapy, I focus on what works for you, adapting as needed to ensure your recovery process is both manageable and in motion.
Our collaborative work means gaining a new perspective — on yourself, your world, and what change can look like. It’s about discarding limiting constructs, approaching life with greater openness and curiosity, and gaining an inner sense of authenticity and insight that isn’t dictated by conventional expectations.
