About
Life can be challenging and it's so much easier when we don't have to do it alone.
Pam Goucher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both Arkansas and Tennessee with over 30 years of experience. She has worked with clients who have a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar, trauma, parenting and relationship issues.
Pam earned her Bachelor's degree Behavioral Sciences from the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor, and her Master's degree in Counseling from the University of Tennessee-Memphis. Her counseling style is warm and interactive. She believes in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her therapy style is eclectic, though she tends to lean more towards cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and family origin issues.
Pam believes it's important to remember that whatever you're feeling is normal for what you are experiencing. Anyone in your situation would most likely be feeling the same way. You will figure it out together. Pam looks forward to working with you from the very first session.

As a female clinician with deep experience in mental health, I meet clients where they are and work collaboratively toward their goals.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 28 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health services to children, adolescents, adults, and families in a wide range of clinical settings. My professional experience includes school-based services, adult case management, inpatient psychiatric treatment, therapeutic foster care, and medical social work. Having worked continuously in the mental health field since 1996, I bring a deep understanding of the diverse challenges individuals and families face and a strong commitment to individualized care.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of New England. My therapeutic approach integrates solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and practical coping strategies that promote lasting growth and resilience.
In practice, I provide therapy for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transition challenges. I value meeting you where you are and creating a safe, supportive space for healing and personal growth. When you’re ready, I welcome you to schedule an appointment and begin this work together.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Social anxiety counseling helps people better understand and manage the anxiety they experience in or because of social interactions. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings as a result of social interactions or settings and they’re affecting your day-to-day life, consider seeking social anxiety counseling with one of our trained Thriveworks Conway therapists. The social anxiety therapists at Thriveworks can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day social anxiety or your social anxiety disorder.
Social anxiety counseling involves talking to a therapist about your social anxiety symptoms, potential causes, and more. Your therapist will then work with you to determine where your social anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
Thriveworks social anxiety counseling in Conway, AR is conducted both in person and through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Social anxiety counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the severity of one’s social anxiety as well as their needs and preferences.
Categorized as an anxiety disorder, social anxiety (also known as social phobia) affects millions of Americans each year. Socially anxious people question themselves much more than someone with the disorder. It can cause significant stress and other mental, emotional, and physical challenges.
If you are struggling with social anxiety, reach out to Thriveworks Conway for help. We offer convenient appointments online and in person, and in the evenings and on weekends. Choose what works best for you.
A simple question such as “Want to hang out?” can lead to a slippery slope in your mind that has an unlimited supply of questions and excuses not to be interactive with others:
Some symptoms of social phobia can be very mild such as avoidance of social situations to severe physical symptoms of anxiety including confusion, sweating and shaking in social situations. The invitation may be a great thing in order to get out of the house and away from the TV or computer, but the fear and worry of looking out of place or being judged in a social setting can hold you back.
You are now facing a major daily fear. In the midst of the frustration of trying to derive yet another excuse for not attending, productive work seems to be put aside by personal matters that require more time now due to the nature of your anxiety.
With the help of Thriveworks Conway, you will receive the tools, motivation, and education to succeed in facing this phobia head-on and eliminate the fear and worry associated with social anxiety disorder.
Thriveworks’ certified counselors guide you through the stages necessary to regain and take control of your freedom to enjoy the rest of your life meeting new people, experiencing deeper connection with others and enjoying the presence of friends and family. Each session is tailor-made to fit the individual needs and concerns which makes success a reality so don’t hesitate and keep slipping; let’s climb out of the slippery slope together.
