About George
George Brassea is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. He draws on nine years of clinical experience to help people manage stress and anxiety, and to navigate relationships, grief, and self-esteem concerns. George aims to build a collaborative connection where practical work can happen alongside honest conversation.
He uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions often look at attachment and family roots to understand patterns that show up in daily life.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that change behavior. George invites straightforward discussion about difficult topics, from trauma to intimacy and identity. He also addresses issues such as addictions, body image, and work-related stress.
Conversations may include concrete skills, values-based reflection, and exploration of deeper meaning depending on what someone needs. His background includes an MBA alongside clinical training, which brings an additional perspective when people face career or organizational stress. He works with people who identify as LGBT and those facing complex life transitions or caregiving strain.
Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Pricing varies with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time. To get started, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect people to a session based on therapist availability.
Attachment and CBT approaches for online work
George often uses attachment-based ideas to map how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at how people connect, lose trust, or avoid closeness, and it can be helpful when anxiety, abandonment, or commitment worries are central.He also uses Client-Centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals and pace. That means sessions focus on listening, reflection, and working from what matters most to the individual rather than following a rigid script.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to make thoughts and behaviors more manageable. CBT offers concrete tools to test unhelpful beliefs, try small changes, and track whether those changes reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day needs. That choice can shift over time as progress unfolds.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging lets people share updates between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
