Georgia Carey

Georgia Carey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her work also covers related concerns such as attachment issues, blended family challenges, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, and the effects of divorce or domestic violence.

She uses straightforward talk therapy alongside practical skills work. That can include behavior-focused strategies and coping skills to manage strong emotions. Georgia explains options clearly and supports clients as they try new ways of responding to old patterns.

Sessions focus on what a person wants to change now and what they can try between meetings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to help with unhelpful thinking and intense feelings. Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused methods are also part of her approach when those fit the situation.

Georgia encourages small, achievable steps rather than big, sudden shifts. She listens for patterns that keep problems alive and suggests practical adjustments. The emphasis is on learning skills and testing what works in daily life.

People considering work on life direction, motivation, or confidence will find a therapist who blends talk and concrete strategies. To start, a short questionnaire and an initial session are used to identify goals and a first set of steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Georgia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short experiments clients can use between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers clear tools for managing intense feelings, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Georgia will discuss which methods seem most useful based on a person’s goals and preferences, and they will decide collaboratively how to blend techniques over time.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when someone prefers audio only. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote work, assigning brief practice tasks and reviewing results in subsequent sessions.
