George Ramsey, LMHC

George Ramsey is a licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of experience helping people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and problems with intimacy. He also helps with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, addictions, and life transitions. George speaks plain language and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone worried or overwhelmed.

He believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the work. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings. George listens first, then helps shape goals and small, measurable changes that fit daily life.

His approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking that make things harder. He combines that with client-centered listening so people feel heard while they try new strategies. Mindfulness tools and trauma-focused methods are used where they help slow the body and process difficult memories.

George also uses motivational interviewing to strengthen motivation when making big changes, such as reducing substance use or repairing important relationships. He uses straightforward language and checks in often about what is and isn’t working.

In sessions he helps people build coping skills for stress, grief, anger, sleep problems, and parenting strains. He supports work on identity and life purpose, including concerns that relate to LGBT issues and career stress. George practices in Florida and works with people who want clear steps and steady support.

How his approaches work online

George uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often includes simple homework such as tracking moods, testing thoughts, and practicing new behaviors that reduce anxiety or improve sleep.

He also practices client-centered therapy, which means sessions start with listening and following the person's lead. That style helps build trust online so people can try new strategies at a comfortable pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adapt CBT, client-centered methods, or trauma-focused techniques as needed. The plan is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different days and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can work for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make scheduling easier and let people keep momentum between sessions.
