About Georgina
Georgina Cortez is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting strains, and anger that affects daily life.
She focuses on clear, practical steps clients can use right away. Sessions often involve looking at patterns of thought and behavior and practicing new ways to communicate. Georgina helps people build self-esteem and stronger communication skills so tensions feel more manageable.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, test different responses, and set small, achievable goals. Conversations tend to be straightforward and action-oriented rather than long on theory.
Georgina also pays attention to family dynamics and common communication problems. She supports parents who want tools for calmer interactions and people who are trying to repair or improve close relationships.
Clients can expect collaboration on concrete strategies for coping with anger and frustration. The aim is practical change - clearer boundaries, less reactivity, and better daily routines - rather than quick fixes. Georgina encourages gradual progress and checks that new skills fit each person's life.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Georgina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts so someone can try small behavior changes and notice what helps with anger and anxiety.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on short-term goals and what works now. That approach helps clients identify concrete next steps and build on small successes to reduce frustration and improve interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgina will collaborate with each client to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and everyday life. She checks in and adjusts the plan based on what actually helps.
