About Georgina

Georgina Cortez offers therapy for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and life transitions. She focuses on practical skills for improving communication, boosting self-esteem, and navigating relationship and family challenges.

Background and approach

Georgina draws on 13 years of clinical experience as a California licensed marriage and family therapist to guide clients toward clearer thinking and more effective daily coping. Her work emphasizes collaborative problem solving and strengths-based support, helping clients notice patterns, test new ways of relating, and build habits that align with their goals.

Georgina uses evidence-informed tools, including cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods, to translate insight into measurable change. She aims to create an approachable, respectful environment where clients can explore emotions, practice new skills, and move forward with greater confidence.

CBT and Solution-Focused Care Delivered Online

Georgina often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test more balanced beliefs; this approach is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and related mood concerns. She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which emphasizes setting clear goals, identifying strengths, and developing small, actionable steps to move toward desired outcomes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Georgina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques over time and invites client feedback to ensure the work remains relevant and focused on measurable progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical, while still allowing therapists to deliver structured, skills-based treatment.
