George Brassea, LCPC

George Brassea is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with nine years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns. He speaks English and practices in Illinois. He lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among his approaches and combines it with attachment and client-centered methods.

He uses plain questions to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns that make problems feel worse. Sessions often include looking at family history and attachment patterns to see how early relationships shape current reactions. He pays attention to everyday routines like sleep and communication to find concrete places to change.

George frames work as a collaborative process. He offers feedback and invites reflection so people can test new ways of coping. He says confronting trauma directly may be part of the work when it is needed.

His background also includes an MBA, which he brings into conversations about career stress, work-life balance, and practical problem solving. That perspective can help when clients are juggling job demands, finances, or leadership pressures.

For people dealing with identity or intimacy questions, including concerns related to LGBT issues, kink, or alternative sexual culture, he addresses these topics without avoidance. He also lists focus areas such as addictions, body image, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and first responder concerns.

To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
