About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Golia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 11 years of clinical experience. He brings a warm, flexible presence to sessions and focuses on helping people find practical paths forward. He came to this work after benefiting from therapy himself and now aims to offer the same kind of supportive relationship to others.
Geoffrey uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method.
Background and approach
He draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Clients often bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, or struggles with intimacy and self-esteem.
He also works with issues like addiction, career strain, parenting stress, and questions about life purpose. Geoffrey pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they show up in a person’s story. In session he aims for clear, down-to-earth conversation.
He helps people set concrete goals, practice new skills, and try small changes between meetings. He also pulls from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when a client needs emotional regulation tools or help finding motivation for change. Geoffrey trained at New York University’s Silver School of Social Work and has worked with a wide range of people across clinical settings.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs.

Online support
How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns; online sessions let a therapist and client talk through those patterns and try new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing small changes; it translates well to video or text when clients want concrete exercises and homework between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Geoffrey will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation, and may blend approaches as needed. The focus is on collaboration - setting clear goals, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan based on what actually helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for deep conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging works for quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules while keeping consistent care.
