About George
George Deegan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 40 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and addiction. He also works with clients concerned about panic disorder and panic attacks. His tone is calm and straightforward, and he aims to create a space where people feel heard.
He often begins by listening and building trust. That lets clients open up at their own pace without pressure. He describes grief as unique to each person and encourages people to direct their own process rather than being told to ‘‘move on.’’ Many clients have found that simple permission to feel can be a turning point.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. He uses practical conversations to identify patterns and try small changes that can reduce anxiety and interrupt panic cycles. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused rather than academic.
Over decades of practice he has worked with people facing loss, separation, communication problems, guilt, shame, and issues related to sexuality. He emphasizes compassionate understanding and practical problem solving. The aim is to find manageable steps forward that fit a person’s daily life.
People who choose him often want a steady, experienced clinician who listens first and helps build tools next. If you prefer clear conversation and a focus on real-life coping skills, his style may be a fit. To start, follow the site steps to match and schedule a first appointment.
How CBT Shapes Online Work and Practical Support
Many of his sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT uses brief, practical exercises and thought records to test unhelpful ideas and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or interrupt panic responses.He emphasizes straightforward, manageable steps rather than abstract theory. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and daily routines. That means adjusting the pace and tools based on how someone responds.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, with fewer travel needs and simpler scheduling around work or family. It also lets people practice strategies in the settings where problems happen, then bring those experiences back to the next session.
