Patricia Godwin, LCSW

Patricia Godwin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of practice in Utah. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, career concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, codependency, and related life changes.

She keeps sessions focused and conversational. Patricia listens first, then helps people name the patterns that cause them trouble. She uses practical, evidence-based ideas and straightforward tools so clients can try something between meetings and see what helps.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other methods. That means clients set goals, Patricia helps map small changes, and they track what works. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to build momentum and commitment.

In work related to relationships she uses elements of the Gottman Method to look at interaction habits and communication. For people living with grief, caregiving, aging concerns, or cancer-related stress, she attends to everyday coping and realistic emotional supports.

Patricia avoids labels that feel stigmatizing and prefers practical plans that fit a person’s life. Sessions include talking, reflecting, and hands-on steps to practice new responses. Her style is interactive and respectful, aimed at helping adults stop putting others first at their own expense and regain clearer choices.
