How her approaches translate to online work
Georgette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with everyday actions, which helps with anxiety, depression, and anger-related reactions. DBT emphasizes skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce intense emotional responses.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice urges and reactions without acting on them, and motivational interviewing when there is ambivalence about change, such as with substance use. These approaches are explained and tried together so clients can see what fits their needs.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Georgette will work with each person to choose techniques based on their goals, current challenges, and preferences. Sessions begin with clear goals and regular check-ins so adjustments can be made as progress is tracked.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists will also adapt exercises and homework so they work in everyday settings rather than requiring special equipment.
