About George

George Brassea is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits. He approaches therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help people understand patterns that shape their choices. Sessions often look at daily routines, sleep, relationships, and recurring reactions to stress. He uses questions and reflection to trace behavior back to family roots and early experiences. That history often reveals attachment patterns and recurring habits that show up in work, relationships, and self-care. George links these insights to practical steps people can try between sessions. His style blends compassionate listening with direct feedback when helpful. He pays attention to how feelings, beliefs, and everyday habits interact. Conversations may cover hard topics, including trauma and loss, while staying focused on manageable changes. Over nine years of practice, George has supported people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, and issues around identity and intimacy. He also works with concerns such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and first responder issues. George also brings a business perspective from an MBA, which can help when people want to address career and coaching goals alongside emotional health. He invites people to reflect on what matters most and to try small, habit-level shifts that add up over time.

How therapeutic approaches inform online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in close relationships. It helps people notice patterns in bonding, trust, and fear of abandonment, and then practice new ways of relating to others.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person as they are. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what comes up, and helps people feel heard while they consider changes in daily habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and which methods feel most useful. That decision is collaborative and can evolve as therapy continues.

Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Before booking, confirm the specific session options offered. Online work can support brief check-ins, longer weekly sessions, or pacing that matches a client's schedule, and it can help people apply habit changes directly into their everyday routines.
