About Georgette
Georgette McNally is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people who want to make change in their lives and addresses concerns such as substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, and life-altering situations.
She favors a solution-focused, client-centered style and draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to structure sessions. That means sessions often look at current thoughts and behaviors and test small changes to see what helps. She also uses practical tools to set goals and track progress.
Sessions begin with clear goal-setting and a brief review of what the person hopes to change. Georgette uses concrete strategies - for example, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different responses in day-to-day life. She mixes skill practice with short problem-solving steps so progress is measurable.
She has experience supporting people facing addiction, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, anger, and career transitions. Additional focus areas include codependency and drug and alcohol addiction. Georgette also works with issues like ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is straightforward and task-oriented. People can expect a mix of discussion, skill-building, and step-by-step planning. To start, prospective clients select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Georgette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches online. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors in small steps, which works well in short skill-practice assignments between sessions. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, useful when someone needs hands-on strategies to steady reactions.She also integrates mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress and respond less reactively. Mindfulness exercises are brief and can be practiced between online meetings to support sleep, anxiety, or focus. Choosing which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client agree on goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the original biography does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, enable shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching questionnaire and first session about session length, frequency, and practical adjustments so therapy can fit into everyday life.
