About George
George Erickson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience practicing in Missouri. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and depression. He emphasizes each person’s strengths and treats them as the expert on their own story.
He encourages people to take the first step and sees that decision as an important act of courage. In sessions he listens carefully and works with clients to set clear, practical goals.
Background and approach
He uses straightforward language and helps people break big problems into smaller steps. Together they make plans for coping skills, mood regulation, and relapse prevention when addiction is involved. He blends supportive talk with hands-on strategies that can be practiced between sessions.
That might include simple breathing and grounding exercises, problem-solving tasks, or changes to daily routines that reduce stress. He also helps people make sense of loss and process grief at a manageable pace. George pays attention to relationship and identity concerns, including LGBT issues, parenting strain, and intimacy-related worries.
He also helps with work and career stress, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions. His approach is steady and practical for people who want clear steps, not just conversation. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
He uses several online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort. If someone is ready to begin, he asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time to meet.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
George draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and symptom relief. One common approach helps people learn concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breath work, grounding, and brief behavioral changes to reduce worry and reactivity. These tools are useful for everyday panic or persistent anxious thoughts.Another approach centers on working through trauma and loss in small, manageable steps. This involves pacing conversations, naming difficult memories, and adding strategies to reduce overwhelm so people can process grief or traumatic events without feeling flooded.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. George will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and current needs, and then adapt techniques to fit. He checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on what’s helping and what isn’t.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or shorter updates between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
