About George
George Erickson is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience working in Missouri. He focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, depression, and anger. He emphasizes a straightforward, respectful approach and encourages people to use their own strengths when healing.
He starts by listening to each person's story and identifying what matters most right now. Sessions aim to break problems into small, manageable steps.
Background and approach
George helps people build skills they can use between meetings, such as strategies for handling strong emotions and reducing risky behaviors. His background includes long-term clinical work with adults facing a wide range of life challenges. That experience informs clear, no-nonsense guidance on coping with loss, managing mood swings, and addressing substance use.
He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, and career pressures. In session he uses practical techniques drawn from evidence-based approaches to help people change patterns that cause pain. He works at the person’s pace and adapts tools to fit everyday life.
The focus is on small wins that add up over time. George believes starting therapy is a big step and often a brave one. He works collaboratively to set goals and track progress.
If someone is looking for steady, experienced support for anger, addiction, anxiety, or grief, he offers straightforward guidance and a focus on skills people can practice outside sessions.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care
George uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on teaching skills and changing patterns. One common approach he draws on helps people learn concrete emotion regulation and coping skills to reduce impulsive reactions and manage anger and anxiety. Another approach emphasizes behavior change through small, structured steps aimed at reducing substance use, improving routines, and increasing healthy choices.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls let people work face-to-face when more interaction is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or limited time matter. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
