About Georgina
Georgina Cortez is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship and family challenges, parenting strain, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She speaks English and practices in California.
Her sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented. Georgina uses structured conversations to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She then works with clients on concrete steps they can try between sessions. Many people come for help with communication problems, family problems, and building more self-love.
Georgina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. She uses CBT techniques to notice and test thoughts that keep people stuck. She uses solution-focused strategies to find small, actionable changes that add up over time.
Across her work she emphasizes clear skills practice. Sessions include checking current difficulties, practicing specific skills, and deciding on short exercises to try. The aim is steady progress through manageable steps rather than long lists of theory.
Practical matters are handled up front. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Georgina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions typically involve identifying specific thought patterns, testing them in daily life, and practicing new responses that reduce distress. Solution-Focused Therapy is also used to spot small changes that quickly improve how people function; this approach focuses on concrete next steps and short-term goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgina will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion guides which exercises and homework are chosen and how sessions are organized.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins during a break, or allowing work on skills from wherever a person is that day. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and solution-focused tools to an online setting so sessions remain practical and focused on real-life change.
