Background and approach
Georgia creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard feelings. She aims to make it easier to speak about loss, shame, or conflicts with others. Building small routines and moments of self-care is often part of the plan.
Over 20 years she has helped people with communication problems, divorce and separation, social anxiety, and workplace issues. She also supports those dealing with pregnancy and childbirth concerns, prejudice or discrimination, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person.
Georgia listens carefully, offers feedback, and suggests tools clients can try between meetings. She reminds people that taking the first step is meaningful and that change often begins with one conversation.
Evidence-based approaches and online options
Dr. Hicks uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear skills and real-life practice. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and stress such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These methods help reduce avoidance and make everyday life feel more manageable.Another approach she often uses concentrates on improving communication and relationship patterns. This involves identifying how people interact, practicing new ways to speak up, and developing agreements that reduce conflict. It can help with separation, workplace strain, and reconnecting after loss.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She talks with each person about their goals, life situation, and what feels most helpful. Then she and the client try methods and adjust them based on how things are going, so the plan fits the person rather than a one-size solution.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face-to-face when a more personal connection is useful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Text and chat are practical for quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to work on anxiety, relationships, and grief without major travel or schedule disruption.
