About Georgina

Georgina Arhin is a licensed professional counselor with two decades of clinical experience in the District of Columbia. She has focused her practice on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue, and she adapts conversations and plans to match each client’s needs.

Background and approach

Georgina emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work, creating a space where clients can begin difficult conversations and explore practical steps forward. Her approach draws on a range of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based techniques, among others, to address patterns of thinking, emotional responses, and relational dynamics.

Georgina also attends to areas such as body image, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and concerns related to HIV/AIDS and non-monogamous relationships. She encourages clients to recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy and collaborates with them to shape a personalized process that reflects their goals and life circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Georgina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and stress management. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which supports people in clarifying values and developing psychological flexibility to live with difficult emotions while pursuing meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence in her work, focusing on relationship patterns and emotional bonds to improve connection and communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Georgina partners with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences, and she adapts the plan over time as needs evolve. That collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in shaping their care rather than following a one-size-fits-all path.

Online therapy with her is offered through several convenient formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow people to engage in therapy from different locations and schedules, making it easier to maintain consistency and access support when life feels busy or travel is difficult.
