George Clasbey, LCSW

George Clasbey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with decades of experience helping people navigate addiction concerns, stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. His approach aims to help clients feel more in control and better able to face day-to-day challenges.

He draws on a long clinical history working with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, self-esteem, grief, sleeping problems, anger, and ADHD. He has supported people managing bipolar symptoms, career uncertainty, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. Communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose are also within his focus.

Sessions center on clear goals and concrete strategies. He helps people identify patterns, try small changes, and track what works. Conversations are direct but warm, and he encourages practical tools for coping between sessions.

Over his career George has also assisted people pursuing education and career development. That background informs his work on vocational decisions and life transitions. He emphasizes building skills that carry into everyday life.

He welcomes English-speaking clients and accepts international clients. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Fees vary with location and a subscription can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

George works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, then testing small changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. This helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by everyday worries.

Another approach concentrates on coping skills for stress, addiction-related triggers, and anger. It teaches concrete strategies for managing impulses, improving sleep, and handling cravings or intense emotions. These tools are meant to be used between sessions to support steady progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts methods over time based on what helps most.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make regular work on coping skills more feasible while you balance family, work, and recovery.
