December Goad, MA, LPC, NCC

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to learn about DG Counseling, LLC. I know choosing a counselor is a very personal decision, and I truly appreciate you being here.

My name is December, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky (the same license with a different title), and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). Over the years, my private practice work has allowed me to support individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, and adults through a wide range of life experiences.

I am especially passionate about working with individuals, especially adults, families and children who are navigating Autism Spectrum diagnoses, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and other developmental disabilities. I approach therapy from an eclectic, client-centered perspective, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, behavioral interventions, and attachment-based theories. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which can be especially helpful for clients working through long-standing or deeply rooted challenges.

While I use evidence-based approaches to guide my work, I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative. You are the expert on your own life, and together we shape sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. At times, this may include homework or reflection exercises—tools that can help bring greater insight and depth to the work we do together.

My goal is to support you in creating meaningful change and moving toward the life you want. If you feel ready to take that next step, I would be honored to work with you. Please feel free to reach out—I look forward to meeting you.
