About Georgia

Georgia B Dunn is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with 20 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and other life changes. Georgia uses a warm, interactive style and prioritizes listening so clients feel heard from the first session.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She treats each person as the expert on their life and builds on existing strengths to create realistic steps forward.

Background and approach

Georgia draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and test new behaviors. She also integrates mindfulness and DBT-informed skills to support emotional regulation and coping. Georgia describes her way of working as client-centered and solution-focused.

She attends to the mind-body connection and encourages simple daily practices that support wellbeing. Her manner is empathetic and respectful, aiming to make therapy feel genuine and positive. Over two decades she has helped adults and adolescents facing depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and other mood or life-transition concerns.

She also addresses related issues such as communication problems, codependency, impulsivity, and midlife questions. Clients can expect clear conversation, collaborative planning, and practical tools to try between sessions. Georgia supports people who are ready to take small steps toward change and offers guidance as they build new routines and skills.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Georgia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new actions. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related habits.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete techniques for managing strong emotions and improving communication under pressure.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Georgia listens to each person’s goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try together. She checks in and adjusts the plan so therapy stays relevant to the client’s life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. These formats make it easier to use practical tools between meetings and to maintain continuity during life transitions. The remote options aim to increase flexibility so people can access support from wherever they are.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
