Getting to know Shobha George

Hi there, I'm Shobha! My name is Shobha George, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam. I work with adolescents and specialize in depression, anxiety, stress, and Obsessive-Compulsive disorders, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as this modality helps clients understand their irrational thoughts, their linkage to mood and behaviors, and learn to reframe those thoughts. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for tweens, teens, and adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life and social pressures. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, or stress. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and build skills that allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist following the advice of my high school teacher, who noticed my leaning toward helping people. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves. My goals for you My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we'll work together to set goals and track your progress.
