About Geraldine

Geraldine (Geri) Godbolt brings eight years of clinical experience to her counseling work and holds an LPC license in Georgia. She approaches each presenting concern as distinct, while recognizing that some issues - such as co-occurring anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use - may need concurrent attention.

Background and approach

Geri emphasizes a collaborative relationship in which client and therapist set goals together and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. Her practice weaves several evidence-informed methods, and she asks clients to engage actively both during and between sessions through exercises, journaling, or homework when appropriate.

She has worked in residential settings supporting people facing homelessness and has guided clients through complex life transitions and trauma. Geri frames counseling as a gradual process that can surface uncomfortable emotions but ultimately aims to strengthen insight, coping, and resilience.

She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Geri tailors interventions to individual circumstances and periodically reviews outcomes to ensure treatment remains aligned with each person’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work and Practical Benefits

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering structured tools to address mood disorders, anxiety, and some forms of trauma. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which is helpful for intense emotions and managing impulse-driven behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and will adjust strategies as progress is evaluated. This shared decision-making helps ensure the work fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and locations. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access different modes of interaction depending on comfort and need, and fit therapy into busy or changing lives.
