More about me

Licensing: DPC-Doctor of Professional Counseling LPC BC-TMH Years in Practice: 7 State: Mississippi

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.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

Overall

One of the best therapist ever amazing person to speak to and is genuinely there for you to help you through any issues you may have and push you forward to be the enst version of yourself you can be

Dr. Goodwin is very friendly, engaging, and a good listener. He always has follow up questions and I can tell he isn’t just going through the motions.

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.

Dr. Goodwin has been very supportive and very validating in aspects of my life. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Goodwin.

Doc is awesome. Been together for years now and through all major milestones in my life moving around the world and getting married. Listens and provides advice and super easy to talk to!

The best therapist I’ve ever had! Such a great listener and always helping to guide me in the direction I want to go. Dr. Goodwin is highly recommended to all my friends & family I hope others are lucky enough to have sessions with him.

He’s awesome consistently and never pushes me more than I need. Always open to listen and keep the conversation comfortable yet effective!

With the two sessions I’ve had with Dr. Goodwin he has helped me a lot he is alert and willing to help me in my situation.

Love him, he has helped me more than I ever thought he could.

Dr. Goodwin is the best therapist I have seen in 20+ years of therapy for a chronic health condition and all the chaos that brings!

I think what is absolutely great about Dr. Goodwin is that sometimes I forget he is on a professional level. I feel like he is also a friend as well. I’m very thankful for Dr. Goodwin

Dr. Goodwin is a great resource. He's a positive role model for effective communication, validation and helping you feel heard and understood. You can tell he cares deeply about his patience and has your best interest in-mind. Do yourself and a favor and choose Dr. Goodwin if you're able.

Doc is awesome and he cares about me. Always listens and offers advice!

Dr Goodwin is educated, professional, kind, caring, nonjudgmental, listener, a friend. His skill set combined with his compassion and unique ability to make one feel safe is extraordinary. I went through a few therapists on the platform and was ready to give up as I wasn’t finding the right therapist for me. Then Aurthur was recommended to me by a friend and the app helped match me with him. I’m grateful I didn’t give up on therapy because of him

I have enjoyed working with Arthur, I've valued being able to address my difficulties with his warm and accepting nature. Im polyamorous and pansexual and feel that Arthur was able to address these aspects of my identity in a helpful way. I would recommend.

He’s the best and you will not regret having a mental health professional like him on your side. I survived a very difficult time in my life thanks to him.

Seriously so helpful beyond words. Always willing to listen and to allow conversation naturally flow!

My experience with Aurthur has been excellent. Over my 56 years on this earth I have had retained the services of 3 different therapists at various periods in my life and Aurthur is by far the most effective. I feel that he keeps it real and authentic and has both real life as well as extensive professional experience under his belt . I also feel that he is ethical and he is both a caring individual while being a good professional. I would highly recommend Aurthur without question.

Good guy

Really appreciate Dr. Goodwin's expertise. But, more than that, I like that he is supportive and it always feels like he is on my side, even during tough conversations.

Dr. Goodwin is understanding with a no bs approach. I really like talking with him, he’s helped me move past some things and reconcile with others.

I have been with Dr. Goodwin for over a year now and he is simply the best of the best! His God-given insight and intuition add greatly to his clinical expertise. I feel he is very in tune with my issues and needs and offers excellent, practical feedback and advice. I am incredibly grateful to have him as a crucial part of my support network!

He is kind, compassionate, understanding, funny and will make you think. I appreciate his feedback and value his guidance.

Aurthur is my hero

Dr. Goodwin has remain reliable and consistent in providing counseling. He is knowledgeable and offers helpful feedback and resources pertaining to our discussions. It feels comforting to know that I can easily connect with him.

Arthur is the therapist you didn’t know that was possible to have. He’s attentive, gives it to you straight, and very accessible. There wasn’t a single session I felt that I didn’t truly enjoy and appreciate the time spent. I could do 2+hr sessions with him and still be comfortable. I cannot say that about any other therapist I’ve had.

Knowledgeable, professional and allows me to express myself in a safe environment while providing another perspective with actionable suggestions for me to grow.

I was matched with Dr. Goodwin when I realized that I was unable to manage PTSD from a toxic job on my own. He's friendly, knowledgeable, offers new ways of thinking about problems, and that results in solutions that make navigating life easier. I've stayed on for months as new life problems emerged and his advice has been priceless. He is absolutely fantastic.

Dr. Goodwin is one of the most empathic, friendly and understanding people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He has been a very effective and positive therapist for me. I have really appreciated his warm energy and sense of humor. He is definitely an amazing person and one of the best therapists I have had.

He is easy to talk to and caring and his advice/feedback is exactly right and what I needed to hear! We match well for our sessions and its been great, I am thankful :))

He’s amazing. I don’t know what I’d do without him honestly!

Aurthur is an excellent therapist and all around human. In my 26 years of experience with Therapists (2 different ones I saw for 1.5 years each, 3 that I saw only 1or 2 times) , I would say Aurthur is by far the best. He has a mixture of empathy, good listening skills and someone you feel you can trust. Also because of his extensive background he was able to help me with my particular issue. It’s still a work in progress but I’m pretty grateful that I was matched up with Aurthur.

Dr. Goodwin in my opinion asked/prompted me with the appropriate questions for guidance. He has attempted various types of exercises with me that enabled me to think differently or with fresh perspectives. I appreciate that he checks up on me or sends me motivational quotes/messsages. He is a very good listener overall, and also has a very soothing voice. Thanks Dr. Goodwin.

Doc has been EXTREMELY good to me. he is kind and patient. he really takes in my messages and my thoughts. when i dont respond for a while, he checks up on me to make sure i am ok. he has never once made me feel like i need to prove my self in how i am progressing personally. he constantly provides advice and good conversation. i appreciate i don't feel uptight with him and i appreciate his professional, personable, and informative personality!

Dr. Goodwin is kind and patient and males me feel at ease.

Dr. Goodwin is an inciteful and caring therapist who listens and offers guidance when needed. He also challenges you in this process to learn and grow.

Dr. Goodwin is a great counselor!

Dr. Goodwin has been a lifesaver! He is easy to talk to and always seems to understand where I am coming from. His feedback is on point and valuable beyond measure. I have grown tremendously during my time with Dr. Goodwin. I thank him very much for helping me to become more understanding, accepting and loving toward myself. He has also helped me see the reasons behind certain behaviors, my own or other's, and that insight has really changed how I handle so many situations. I am much calmer and more confident. Thank you, Dr. Goodwin! You are the absolute best!

Dr Goodwin is authentic in his listening and responses to me. I have already seen big differences in myself and my life. More happiness…. I could not be more grateful

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.

I've really enjoyed my time with Dr. Goodwin. I feel heard and appreciate that he is invested in helping me. He also keeps me on track when he notices that I am getting off topic/avoiding an issue. I need that!

Dr. Goodwin seems to have communication lapses. He is not timely with responding and it is very difficult to get on his schedule. I’m in a middle of a crisis, and unfortunately not receiving any compassion or availability on his schedule.

The experience is new still, but I feel understood and heard. It means everything to me who doesn’t feel this way in my general life.

Been with Aurthur for about 3 months, he was consistently understanding and respectful in communication. He provided plenty of great insight to improve my anxiety-prone mindset + my queer & LDR relationship. I feel much more confident working on myself moving onwards. There is always a lot to do, and I can always count on Aurthur to help steer me in the correct path.

Excellent approach to mental health

Dr. Goodwin has been the biggest help to me in everything that I have been struggling with. What I appreciate is that he keeps me accountable, truly listens, and helps guide me to reframe how I’m thinking about a situation. I feel so fortunate to have found such a wonderful therapist!

Dr Goodwin is easy to talk to because of the connection he makes while not making the client feel judged in any way. He asks the tough questions and gives weekly midi at ion with things to think about. Can’t recommend more!

AMAZING

Very personable, understanding, and conversational.

Dr Goodwin, Arthur as he likes to be called has given me the tools mentally to help overcome the difficulties that I’ve been going through in my life right now and he has given me the belief that I can achieve any that I need to inderpenantly. Thank you Arthur

Dr Goodwin is very professional and efficient. I feel that he listens to me and has got my back. I would not hesitate to refer him to a potential client.

This was my first time being vulnerable with anybody. I wasn’t too sure about the whole therapy or counseling thing but after the pandemic I thought, “why not?” It’s really helped a lot. Dr. Goodwin is amazing at listening and providing eye-opening advice, he creates this judgment free zone that still feels caring and kind. I recommend him if you want to feel like you’re talking with a friend who isn’t going to just hype you up through situations where you might be in the wrong — kind evaluation is how I view it, not so much criticism.

Dr. Goodwin immediately put me at ease and made me feel heard and safe. I appreciate his time and his help in ensuring my continued growth.

Dr. Goodwin has helped me identify my biggest challenge that has helped me with my anxiety. He is not judgmental and give me hope that I will be able to live a better life.

I’ve only participated in betterhelp for about a month now but already I feel like I’ve been incorporating what I’ve talked about with Dr. Goodwin in my present day life.

Aurthur is that friendly listener who listens to everything you’re saying. He has been wonderful to talk with for these past few months.

I’ve really enjoyed talking to Dr.Goodwin. He’s a down to earth person and therapy feels like a natural conversation. I’m happy I was matched with Dr. Goodwin.

I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Goodwin. He has a knack for getting to the core of every issue and finding resolution. He is down-to-earth and very easy to talk to; I find I can be completely transparent with him. I am so grateful to BetterHelp for getting me connected with him!

Approachable, knowledgeable, and dedicated are all ways I'd describe Dr. Goodwin. He immediately took steps towards improving my quality of life with thorough work.

Dr. Goodwin is the best investment I made for myself this year. His support, directness, and candidness have made my life manageable after working two very stressful jobs and having close bereavement. I cannot recommend him enough. He’s everything I needed in a counselor and everything I was seeking in one as well.

Dr. Goodwin is such an intelligent, sensitive and laid back soul. Dr. Goodwin is incredible at his profession, creating a really warm and safe atmosphere to share in. He is a blessing in hard times.

Really pleased after my first session and looking forward to continuing to work together.

Dr. Goodwin is a godsend. He has been an angel in a very dark place for me these past few months, and I would refer him to anyone who has or has had issues to go over that may be weighting down their lives. Thank you for being there for me. Andro

Dr Goodwin is professional, kind and caring. He really listens and pays attention to you and your issues. I would highly recommend him.

Dr Arthur is a wonderful person and so easy to talk to. You can see from his life experience that he is able to relate to any situation with compassion and understanding. Thanks for all that you do.

He’s amazing!

Dr. Goodwin is awesome! I’m one of those people that fell in the skeptical group of what these therapy sessions could offer me. My skepticism led me to say “oh I can find therapeutic things online” but Doc really connected with me. He knows what to say not just to tell me what I need to do or think about. He encourages me to think about some idea or aspect and forces me to connect to the healing I need. He’s been respectful and courteous. A really supportive person and I do enjoy our live chats as well, as he actively listens to what I have to say or what’s on my mind.

Dr. Arthur Goodwin made me feel comfortable from the very first session. He is always there just to listen me talk about my feelings and things that are going on in my life. He has helped me a lot in just this short amount of time that I have been meeting with him. I would highly recommend him as a councillor!!!

Wonderful person. Listens to me, takes care in the things he says to me,

Always available and proactive at reaching out when I am disconnected. He ensures that I am okay and provides words of encouragement. Understands all the factors to maintain healthy relationships and understanding not only the why behind actions but also tactical things to do to improve.

Persistant and caring...

Arthur is extremely attentive and always takes time to push me to work on myself. He doesn’t just validate everything he encourages me to find the truth in everything and be real.

My experience with Dr. Goodwin was very positive overall. He was very welcoming and understanding with my struggles and concerns. I would highly recommend him to other BetterHelp users.

Arthur is attentive, supportive and compassionate. He's helped me tackle many of the issues and I've found myself on a path of improvement and self-actualization. Thank you Arthur!

Dr. Goodwin is so great I highly recommend him he’s a great listener very wise definitely one of the best

I just started working with Dr. Goodwin, but so far I've enjoyed it.

Within few sessions, Aurthur added a positive change to my life! Great listener, very passionate and caring. He is a life changer!

He was a perfect match for me!

They are fantastic. It has been helping me a lot to talk with Dr. Goodwin. He has been listening and he has a pretty good idea on how to work with me. He has found ways that I am comfortable following. Overall a real good doctor!

So far the help I have received from him has made a very big impact in my life.. I’m still learning.. he supports me and he respects me in any decision I make and he has made it clear that the decision is ultimately mine but he will support me no matter what it is.. I have been to previous councelors who have told me what to do and what not to do..

Dr Goodwin is an excellent counseler. His method is very down to Earth. I also like that he gives additional reading to continue to work on things that we work on during our sessions. Highly recommend.

Dr. Goodwin is very kind and listens to your thoughts and concerns. He seems genuinely interested in helping me manage my anxiety and depression. He's given me homework that has helped me move forward. I would recommend especially to people who have severe anxiety as I do.
