About George

George Deegan meets people where they are and helps them make sense of hard feelings. He listens first, then works at a pace that feels manageable. Many clients come for help with grief, anxiety, stress, addictions, and relationship strain.

George has 40 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW. He emphasizes honest, steady support and a working relationship built on trust. Sessions start with practical concerns and what the person hopes will change.

Background and approach

When grief is the issue, he focuses on allowing the feelings that come up. He explains that grief follows no fixed timetable and helps people find permission for their own process. The aim is to let the person lead how they grieve while identifying small steps forward.

For anxiety, panic, and stress he uses straightforward techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy. Together they look at thought patterns and try out different ways of responding to sudden fear or recurring worry. For addictions and related struggles the work balances coping skills with understanding what keeps the behavior going.

George describes his style as down-to-earth and compassionate. He combines practical problem solving with a calm presence. Over decades he has kept contact with many past clients and values steady, respectful care.

Approaches George names

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

CBT-informed care and online access

George uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try different responses, and build skills to reduce panic, anxiety, and persistent worry.

He combines that practical work with listening and steady support. Finding the right approach is part of the process and he works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress and priorities become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video sessions are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone calls require less bandwidth, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and text messaging lets people communicate between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
