About Georgia

LMFT licensed in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. Dr. Georgia Hicks helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, and self-esteem problems. She also focuses on communication problems, divorce and separation, and issues such as isolation, workplace stress, and women’s health topics.

Dr. Hicks uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing and practical for each person. Sessions focus on improving communication, increasing confidence, and building routines that support daily coping and motivation. She works with clients on problems linked to pregnancy and childbirth, prejudice and discrimination, and social anxiety when these affect day-to-day life.

Her approach centers on creating an open environment where people can name their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. In sessions she helps people clarify goals and take small, concrete steps toward them. This can include practicing new ways to talk about problems, trying brief behavioral changes, and reviewing what worked between meetings.

Dr. Hicks gained two decades of experience in a variety of settings in New York. That background informs her focus on practical strategies that fit into busy lives. She encourages parents and other adults to bring specific concerns about relationships, stress, or loss so they can be addressed directly.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location. Confirm current session options before booking.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions

Dr. Hicks works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways that address daily problems. One approach she uses focuses on practical behavioral changes - identifying specific actions to reduce anxiety and increase motivation, then reviewing what helps between sessions. This method is useful for stress, low mood, and boosting routine behaviors.

Another common element is communication-focused work. Sessions include role practice and feedback to help people speak about difficult topics more clearly, which can help with relationship strain, divorce and separation, and workplace conflicts. These exercises are short and repeatable between meetings.

Deciding which approaches fit best is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss symptoms, goals, and personal preferences and then try approaches that match those priorities. Adjustments are made based on what the person finds most helpful and practical.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week by reducing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. They also allow shorter check-ins when schedules require a quick session or phone contact when video is not practical, which helps therapy fit into everyday life.
