George Deegan

George Deegan, LCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, and grief. He is direct and steady in session, and he listens for the hurt behind the words. Many people come to him when emotions feel out of control or when a loss leaves them unsure how to move forward.

He focuses on grief that follows losing a loved one or the end of a close relationship. He avoids quick fixes and instead makes space for whatever feelings arrive. He encourages clients to take ownership of their grieving process and to name what they need in the moment.

George uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means he helps clients spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Early work centers on building trust so deeper issues can be discussed without pressure. Sessions move at the client’s pace and aim to create practical steps for change.

He brings about 40 years of experience to his work and describes his role as a compassionate, imperfect human who listens carefully. He values collaboration and often frames therapy as combining two minds to solve difficult problems. Past clients have sent him notes of thanks over many years.

People who want clear conversation about grief, anxiety, or addictive behavior may find his style useful. He practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How CBT shapes online work and what to expect

George uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT sessions generally involve identifying specific thoughts that feed anxiety or unhelpful habits, testing those thoughts, and practicing new responses in everyday life. This approach can help with anxiety, panic, addiction-related behaviors, and the strong emotions tied to grief.

Finding the right approach usually happens over a few sessions. The therapist treats this as a collaboration - he listens to goals and preferences, explains options, and adapts the plan as needs become clearer. Clients help set the pace and pick techniques that fit their day-to-day life.

Practical benefits of online care include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to keep regular check-ins, try short focused sessions, or continue work when life is in flux. This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Licensed professionals can use remote work to support steady progress while fitting therapy into ordinary routines.
