About Pamela Goucher
Pamela Goucher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 37 years of experience working in clinical therapy, behavioral health, and medical social work. As an LCSW - a clinical social work license that indicates advanced training in assessment and treatment - she brings a broad understanding of how medical issues, life transitions, and family dynamics shape emotional wellbeing. Pamela has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addiction and alcoholism, parenting and relationship challenges, grief, and a range of stress-related concerns. She is familiar with the 12-step approach used in Alcoholics Anonymous and incorporates that understanding when it matches a client’s needs.
Pamela draws on an eclectic, client-focused style with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral techniques and exploration of early family-of-origin patterns that influence current behavior. Her counseling approach is described as warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Pamela is comfortable integrating a Christian perspective when appropriate and has experience working with a variety of religious beliefs and LGBTQ clients. Personal life experience - including a military family background, a son who completed multiple tours of duty, and raising a grandchild - informs her practical, empathetic outlook. She frames difficult reactions as normal responses to life events and works collaboratively to help clients make sense of their situations and find workable paths forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Pamela Goucher
Pamela commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address a wide range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports personal growth and self-understanding - it is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.
She also draws on trauma-focused ideas when past experiences are central to present difficulties, working to process and reduce the long-term impact of traumatic events. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Pamela reviews a client’s goals, history, and preferences and adjusts techniques to fit what will help most effectively.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access therapeutic support from different locations while working with therapists who tailor care to each client’s needs.
