Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello! My name is Pam Goucher. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both Arkansas and Tennessee with over 30 years of experience working as a clinical therapist. I have experience in behavioral health and medical social work, so I have an understanding of the impact medical issues can have on someone’s life. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar, trauma, parenting and relationship issues. I have also worked with individuals who have experienced alcoholism/addictions. I am familiar with the 12-steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. I am most comfortable with a Christian approach, but I am accepting of and have worked with various religious beliefs and lifestyles including LGBTQ. I come from a military background as my father was a Vietnam vet and my son has completed 5 tours of duty in Iraq/Afghanistan. I am also a grandparent raising a grandchild. So as you can see, I am a fairly experienced, well- rounded person. I understand that sometimes life just happens and we need help making sense of it all!
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am open minded and accepting of others. I will not judge you or present as biased. My therapy style is eclectic, as I use whatever your unique and specific needs call for. I do tend to lean more towards cognitive-behavioral therapy though as I believe every situation provokes a thought–a thought a feeling– which in turn produces an attitude or behavior. I also like to explore your family of origin issues as those early family dynamics do tend to influence who we are today.
I always start by reassuring my clients that they aren’t crazy or weird…what you’re feeling is normal for what you are experiencing right now. Anyone in your shoes would most likely be feeling the same way. It’s okay and you’re okay! We can figure it out together:)
I look forward to working with you!

Her clinical experience includes supporting people with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, parenting and relationship concerns, and challenges related to alcoholism and other addictions.

While she tends to work comfortably within a Christian framework, she is accepting of diverse religious beliefs and lifestyles, including LGBTQ clients.
Pamela’s life experience includes a military family background – her father served in Vietnam and her son completed five tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan – and she is also a grandparent raising a grandchild.

Pamela begins by reassuring clients that their reactions are normal given what they are experiencing, emphasizing that feeling upset or confused does not mean something is wrong with them.

She looks forward to working with individuals who are ready to explore changes and find practical, compassionate support.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person care for most people.
One major advantage is flexibility – clients can choose the format that fits their life, whether that is video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to access care without rearranging a full day around appointments.
Each participating therapist is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many, online therapy provides a practical and effective way to pursue mental health support while balancing other responsibilities.
