Georgina Arhin, LPC

Georgina Arhin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience in the District of Columbia. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. Georgina aims to create an atmosphere of respect and compassion from the first conversation.

She adapts sessions to each person's needs and works at a steady, practical pace. People can expect clear, achievable goals and conversational guidance rather than clinical jargon. Georgina uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and related therapies to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Her work also addresses relationship concerns, communication problems, and complicated feelings like guilt, shame, or compassion fatigue. Georgina helps clients sort through issues such as attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, and isolation. She also supports people facing infidelity, impulsivity, or questions about non-monogamous relationships.

Georgina draws on a blend of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered techniques. Sessions emphasize practical skills, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. Progress is measured in small, concrete steps that fit a person's life.

Therapy with Georgina is collaborative. She will work with each person to set priorities, try strategies, and adjust plans as needed. The goal is to build skills that carry into daily life and help people feel more capable and steady.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Georgina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits that fuel anxiety or low mood, often with practical exercises and homework to try between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult feelings without fighting them while clarifying personal values and taking actions that matter.

She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. That approach can help people recognize triggers, improve how they relate to others, and build steadier bonds over time. Georgina collaborates with each person to decide which blend of approaches best matches their goals and daily life needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quick check-in option, and text messaging supports shorter exchanges or ongoing check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones while keeping the focus on practical work and real-life changes.
