About George
George Ramsey is a licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of experience helping people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, motivation issues, and low self-esteem. He works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction, and challenges around identity and LGBT concerns.

How George uses evidence-based methods online
George often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change and build motivation at their own pace. This approach focuses on listening, asking helpful questions, and supporting small steps toward goals.
He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's experience and priorities. Sessions using this approach focus on understanding what matters most to the person and responding with empathy and respect.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another common element in his work. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors in everyday life to reduce anxiety, depression, or negative patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. George works collaboratively to identify which methods match a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time based on what is helpful.
Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, and make scheduling around work or family easier.
