About Georgina

Georgina Arhin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in the District of Columbia with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. Georgina aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to make changes. She encourages those who are ready to take the first step and start talking about what matters to them.

She listens first and tailors the conversation to each person's situation. Sessions mix practical skills and reflective work, depending on what someone needs that week. Georgina uses approaches that help people notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and strengthen emotional connection with others.

Many people come with worries about mood, panic, or persistent anxiety. Georgina also supports those coping with body image, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and loneliness. She works with people facing concerns linked to infidelity, impulsivity, control, guilt, and forgiveness.

Her background includes methods drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-focused work, alongside attachment-based and client-centered ways of relating. These inform how she builds goals and practices in session. The therapist will collaborate on a plan that fits the pace and values of each person.

If you are unsure how to start, Georgina recommends a short match questionnaire and a scheduling step to find a first session. That initial meeting is used to set goals and agree on next steps together.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then act in ways that fit their values; it's useful for anxiety, low mood, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and helps people build more secure patterns in present relationships and communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative decision made over the first few sessions and adjusted as work continues.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during the day, or letting someone join from a quieter place. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life situations into conversation, while the therapist supports planning and follow-up tailored to each person's routine.
