Georgette McNally

Georgette McNally is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people who want to make meaningful change and supports those facing substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other life-altering situations. Georgette keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps toward the goals clients bring to therapy.

Her background centers on solution-focused and client-centered work, using ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns and try new approaches. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness ideas when emotional regulation and present-moment skills are useful. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques guide short-term planning and goal setting.

In sessions she aims to be respectful and down-to-earth. Georgette partners with clients to identify strengths and build skills they can use between meetings. She emphasizes clear, manageable plans rather than long lists of abstract tasks.

People who prefer a practical, goal-oriented style may find her approach helpful. She guides conversations toward what can change now and how to try those changes safely. Georgette encourages small experiments and regular check-ins to track progress and adjust the plan.

Her practice includes work on addictions, codependency, grief, anger, parenting strains, career shifts, and coping with life changes. Georgette looks forward to helping clients set priorities and develop steps that fit their daily lives.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Georgette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by focusing on what to test and change next.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness techniques to help with emotional regulation and staying present during strong feelings. DBT skills can make intense moments easier to manage while mindfulness builds awareness of triggers and responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the problems you want to address, then suggest strategies to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what does not.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. This profile does not list specific session formats, so ask which are available when you sign up. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them.
