About George
George Deegan is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 40 years of practice in Florida. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and issues linked to LGBT identity. He also helps with communication problems, divorce and separation, panic attacks, and feelings of guilt and shame.
He often begins by building a steady working relationship. That means taking time to earn trust so clients can speak about painful things. He listens without rushing people toward tidy answers. He emphasizes that each person directs how they grieve or recover from loss and setback.
In sessions he encourages honest talk about what happened and what still hurts. Practical steps and thought patterns get attention, along with the emotional side of things. He names thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck and looks for small changes that make daily life easier.
George draws on many years of real-world experience with different people. He describes himself as someone who can relate from his own life, and he has kept in touch with clients over decades. That background shapes a straightforward, down-to-earth approach to difficult feelings.
People who come for help with guilt or shame, grief after loss, or ongoing anxiety can expect a clinician who moves between talking through feelings and addressing the thoughts and habits that feed distress. Before booking, confirm the current session options and practical details.
CBT and practical approaches for online sessions
George uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core method. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches ways to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and problematic habits tied to addictions.He pairs that with straightforward talk about grief and guilt. That involves naming emotions, weighing what responsibility actually rests with the person, and working through the practical steps that follow from those insights. This combination aims to balance feeling heard with changing day-to-day reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and pace are made together, with attention to what feels most useful.
