About Geoffrey

Geoffrey Stratton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience based in Texas. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, respectful support. He works with adults on issues like depression, anxiety, anger, and losses that make daily life harder.

He also helps people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, motivation problems, and challenges tied to addiction or ADHD. Geoffrey pays attention to how family history and past attachments shape current patterns. He treats concerns around grief, intimacy, sleep, eating, and career stress in straightforward language.

In sessions he listens plainly and responds with clear steps people can try between meetings. He shapes the conversation and plan to match each person's needs and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. The aim is to build skills and understanding that help people move forward.

Geoffrey draws from several therapy approaches to fit the situation. He uses elements of cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance-based work, attachment-focused thinking, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when they match a client's goals. This mix supports work on coping, communication, and emotion regulation.

People who want practical, respectful assistance with life changes, caregiving strain, or aging and geriatric issues can find a collaborative path here. He encourages clients to take small steps toward clearer choices and healthier habits.

If you decide to start, expect a calm, direct conversation about what matters to you and some straightforward tools to try between sessions.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings so they can act in ways that match their values. It can be useful when someone wants to live more meaningfully despite stress or low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical changes to thoughts and behaviors. It often involves trying small experiments and new skills to reduce anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change unhelpful ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geoffrey will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows using worksheets, skill practice, and emotion regulation exercises between meetings to help apply what is learned in regular life.
