About Georgina
Georgina Arhin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience in mental health care in the District of Columbia. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression.
Background and approach
Georgina aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to begin difficult work. She shapes conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation.
Sessions are meant to be practical and straightforward, so clients leave with clear next steps they can try between meetings. Georgina listens for patterns in relationships and daily habits that affect mood and stress.
Relationship concerns and communication problems are a regular part of her practice. She uses approaches that look at emotions, thoughts, and behavior to help people make changes that feel manageable.
Attachment issues and forgiveness work are included when they relate to a person’s current struggle. Georgina also supports people facing caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, body image worries, and isolation.
She helps people who are dealing with impulsivity, infidelity, or the challenges of non-monogamous relationships. Work addresses both immediate symptoms like panic attacks and longer-term goals like a clearer sense of life purpose.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Conversations are tailored to what a person needs right now, and plans evolve as progress happens.
Georgina encourages small, steady steps toward better daily functioning and more satisfying relationships.
Online approaches that focus on relationships and values
Georgina draws on the Gottman Method to help people notice interaction patterns and improve communication skills. This approach looks at how everyday conversations and habits affect connection and offers concrete strategies for changing those patterns.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that match those values. ACT teaches skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Attachment-Based Therapy is another part of her work and focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and needs.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Georgina will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and then recommend ways of working together. She adapts methods as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and skill practice, phone calls can work when bandwidth is low, and live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make scheduling easier and let people keep therapy going around work, caregiving, and travel.
