Rick George

Rick George is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with anger as well as related concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and addictive behaviors. He speaks English and works with people across Washington and internationally by the options listed on the site.

Rick aims for straightforward conversations that lead to practical change. He starts by listening to a person's history and current struggles. Then he helps people see patterns that keep them stuck and tries out small, doable changes to improve daily life.

His main framework is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals, Motivational Interviewing to support change, and Psychodynamic ideas to explore deeper themes from the past. Sessions mix these approaches depending on what makes sense for the person.

In sessions Rick works to make people feel heard and supported while they sort out decisions and next steps. He focuses on building understanding first, then practical steps people can try between meetings. Progress is often about small, steady shifts rather than instant fixes.

To start, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the listed availability. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Rick’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Rick uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and often includes specific exercises to practice between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and to support readiness without pressure.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rick will listen to goals and concerns, then suggest which methods to try first. He adjusts the plan based on how well techniques are working and the person’s preferences.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the ability to connect from different locations. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online work helps maintain consistency, supports follow-up between sessions, and allows for flexible scheduling when life is hectic.
