Georgette McNally, LPC

Georgette McNally is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Phoenix, Arizona, bringing more than 13 years of experience supporting people who want to make meaningful change in their lives. She has worked with individuals facing substance use and addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and other life-altering situations. Her practice blends a solution-focused, client-centered orientation with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify practical steps that shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Georgette strives to make the therapy experience respectful, positive, and safe, meeting clients where they are and helping them discover personal strengths to address challenges. She collaborates with each person to clarify goals and develop concrete plans to work toward them, emphasizing skill-building and measurable progress. Georgette welcomes the opportunity to meet new clients and support them as they move toward the changes they hope to achieve.

Therapeutic Tools and Online Support

Georgette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and other concerns. CBT offers practical strategies and exercises that target specific problems and build coping skills.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, techniques that are especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and managing impulses. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these approaches to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support recovery from substance use and improve overall well-being.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgette works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to engage in therapy from different locations and at different times. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into busy schedules, and access licensed professionals when in-person visits are not feasible.
