About Amelia

Amelia George is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with three years of experience based in Louisiana. She works with adults 18 and over on common concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and adjustment to life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and workplace or career pressures. Young adult issues are listed among her focus areas.

Her approach blends practical, goal-focused work with person-centered listening. Amelia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. She also uses mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to support motivation and moment-to-moment coping.

In sessions she focuses on clear, manageable steps rather than long explanations. Conversations often look at thoughts, behaviors, and small experiments clients can try between meetings. She pays attention to emotions and values when deciding what to work on next.

Amelia encourages practical problem solving for issues like panic attacks, postpartum depression, body image, codependency, and blended family challenges. She also helps people process prejudice and discrimination, guilt and shame, and questions about self-worth and identity.

Outside of work she enjoys writing, photography, and DIY crafts, and she lives in Louisiana with her family and a dog named Jaxson. Her background includes membership in regional and national counseling groups, which she uses to stay current on approaches and community resources.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that move them toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions where someone wants more direction rather than just symptom relief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. It breaks problems into workable parts and uses experiments to change patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, panic attacks, or unhealthy habits.

Mindfulness techniques are used to help notice stress and strong emotions without immediately reacting. These practices can reduce reactivity to triggers and support better emotion regulation during busy early-adult life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds in early sessions. Plans can be adjusted as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work, or parenting schedules, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try techniques from day-to-day contexts and bring real-life situations into sessions for practical problem solving.
