About Georgette

Georgette McNally is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with over 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who want to make changes in their lives, including those facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and parenting challenges. Georgette uses practical, goal-oriented work to help people move from stuck to actionable steps.

Her background includes extensive work with substance use and trauma-related concerns. Georgette draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among other methods, to address thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going.

Background and approach

She also uses solution-focused tools to help clients identify small, useful changes that build momentum. In sessions she aims to create a respectful and positive environment. She meets people where they are and helps them uncover strengths they already have.

Georgette listens closely to each person’s goals and tailors plans so progress feels manageable. Her style blends direct skills training with supportive coaching. Clients can expect straightforward techniques for coping with stress, managing emotions, and reducing unhelpful habits.

Georgette also weaves in mindfulness and motivational strategies to support lasting change. She encourages clear goal setting and collaborative planning. Conversations in therapy focus on practical steps and checking what works.

Georgette emphasizes small wins and ongoing adjustment as people make steady progress toward their goals.

Therapeutic tools for online family and parenting concerns

Georgette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems alive; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and habits tied to stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help people manage strong feelings and communicate more effectively.

She approaches finding the right method as a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at problems, goals, and day-to-day routines together and choose techniques that match those needs. Techniques can be adjusted over time based on what feels most helpful and realistic for each person.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, continue work between appointments, and use brief check-ins when useful. Georgette blends practical exercises, brief coaching, and skills practice that translate well to remote formats, helping people apply new tools where they live and parent.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
