About Georgia

Georgia Carey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Georgia also supports people dealing with codependency, attachment problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image worries, and related challenges.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and helps them talk through immediate problems. Sessions often include talk therapy, skills practice, and behavior-based strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

Georgia uses evidence-informed methods to help people learn new ways of coping. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift painful thoughts and actions. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings become overwhelming.

Many people come to her feeling stuck in people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around someone else’s moods or drinking. In sessions she focuses on concrete steps - practicing boundaries, improving communication, and building small routines that reduce stress.

She encourages a collaborative working style. Clients set goals and she helps break them into manageable steps. The emphasis is on hands-on tools that can be used between meetings to change day-to-day habits and reactions.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Georgia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that increase stress or keep relationships stuck. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and short homework tasks to change those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing emotion regulation in everyday moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best. Over the first few sessions she and the client check what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the work matches the client’s priorities.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, not needing to travel, or picking a session style that reduces time on camera. These practical benefits help make regular meetings more manageable while focusing on skills practice and problem solving.
