About George
George Kakkanatt is a licensed clinical social worker with 27 years of experience. He helps people who are facing anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar mood shifts, and big life changes. He works with individuals trying to rebuild self-esteem or manage panic and mood symptoms.
He listens for what matters most to each person and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. Sessions aim to clarify patterns that cause distress and to build coping tools people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Communication skills, problem-solving, and ways to handle guilt or shame are common topics. George brings long experience working with men, veterans, and people navigating midlife transitions. He also supports those coping with chronic pain, illness, and disability, and people handling separation or the stress of changing roles.
Cultural background and personal beliefs are treated with respect in every session. Therapy includes short- and long-term goals. Some people focus on easing panic attacks or managing anxiety day-to-day.
Others want to find clearer life purpose, improve relationships, or work through unresolved forgiveness and grief. Sessions are offered in English and Malayalam and take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. George practices from Texas and holds a Texas LCSW credential.

How therapeutic approaches fit online care
George uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on specific, helpful changes. One common approach centers on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different responses; this helps reduce anxiety and manage panic attacks by changing how someone reacts in the moment. Another approach emphasizes building practical coping skills and communication tools to handle daily stressors, chronic pain, or difficult conversations.Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process includes trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people work through issues face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions work well when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, continued reflection between sessions, or support when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
