About Georgiana

Georgiana Robertson is a licensed clinical social worker who offers warm, practical therapy grounded in real-life skills. She uses straightforward tools that help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and relationship struggles. Sessions emphasize strengths, self-care, and clear steps clients can try between meetings.

Georgiana has worked as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - in Virginia for 19 years. Her approach is supportive and down-to-earth. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try different responses that fit their values.

Background and approach

That may mean practicing new ways to talk with a partner, setting firmer boundaries, or experimenting with short exercises to reduce anxiety. Georgiana draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to make changes feel doable. She also weaves in mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques.

Mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Solution-focused steps break problems into small, manageable actions to move forward. Georgiana works with concerns such as addictions, grief, parenting, coping with life changes, trauma, eating issues, and mood disorders.

She aims to create a steady, compassionate space where clients can try out new habits and build on what already works. Therapy with her often centers on practical plans, clearer communication, and daily self-care routines. Georgiana invites clients to take small, steady steps toward the goals they name for themselves.

Therapy approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions toward them. It helps when worries or difficult emotions get in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to notice thoughts and feelings without reacting immediately, which can reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of working together. Georgiana will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. She combines approaches as needed and checks in to make sure the plan fits the client’s needs and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Sessions can be done by video calls or phone when a live conversation is helpful, and by live chat or text-based messaging for shorter check-ins or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to use therapy from home, work, or while traveling and to keep progress moving between appointments.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

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.
