About George
George Brassea is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, self-esteem, career questions, and anger.
George uses straightforward conversation and careful questioning to map out patterns in daily life and relationships. He pays attention to family history and attachment experiences to see how early relationships shape current behavior. Sessions commonly include talk about sleep, routines, emotional triggers, and how these influence reactions like anger or withdrawal.
He blends several therapeutic approaches rather than relying on a single method. That mix helps him give practical feedback and concrete ideas clients can try between sessions. He names what he notices and discusses both short-term coping and deeper themes that repeat across relationships.
George also draws on broader perspectives when clients want meaning or life-direction work. That can include looking at values, commitments, and how symptoms fit into a larger life story. He is open to addressing trauma and related difficulties when they appear.
Outside the therapy room George’s background includes an MBA, which informs conversations about work, career decisions, and the pressures of modern professional life. He offers a direct, reflective style intended to help people understand their patterns and respond differently over time.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early ties influence reactions today and helps people notice patterns in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the client’s experience, giving room for reflection and straightforward feedback. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into practical steps that can reduce angry responses and improve coping. Finding the right approach is part of the work. George will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then collaborate with the client to choose methods to try. That process is gradual and adjusts as new information emerges. Confirm the current session formats before booking, since choices are not specified here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets conversations focus on real-life situations that occur between meetings, so strategies can be practiced right away and reviewed at the next session.Areas of focus
