About Geraldine
Geraldine (Geri) Godbolt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people sort through stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and related concerns in clear, step-by-step sessions. Geri frames counseling as a collaboration and asks clients to take an active role in change.
She often assigns simple exercises or short journaling between meetings to keep progress moving. Geri pays attention to co-occurring problems when they appear, such as when substance use and mood symptoms happen together.
Background and approach
She uses assessment and diagnostic information to guide practical choices about treatment. Periodically she and the client review progress and adjust the plan when needed. Her approach mixes recognized methods so work fits each person’s life.
She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered therapy, and Existential ideas to match the problem at hand. Sessions aim to build on strengths and create manageable, realistic changes. Geri has worked in residential settings with people experiencing homelessness and other complex needs.
That experience shaped her focus on solutions that address daily living as well as underlying issues. She emphasizes patience - steady steps often lead to lasting change. Clients can expect straightforward language, collaborative planning, and concrete skills practice.
Geri welcomes international clients and offers sessions in English through several online formats.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based action. It focuses on taking small steps toward what matters despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication to manage intense feelings and impulsive behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, DBT, or client-centered strategies and adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing contact and brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping focus on practical tools and steady progress.
