About George
George Brassea is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with nine years of practice. He focuses on helping people untangle patterns that get in the way of daily life. He listens closely and asks practical questions to understand what matters most to each person.
His work often looks at attachment and how early relationships shape current reactions. Sessions may cover family history, sleep, intimacy, grief, or how work and meaning fit together.
Background and approach
George treats trauma directly while maintaining a warm, respectful tone. George combines clinical and business perspectives - he also holds an MBA - so he can discuss both emotional and practical sides of problems. That mix can be useful for career strain, decision-making, and life transitions.
His approach aims to connect feelings to concrete steps people can try between sessions. People come to him for anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, identity and LGBT issues, relationship or intimacy questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and problems with control or codependency. He also works with issues like abandonment, body image, blended family stress, and first responder concerns.
Sessions are conversational and grounded in the client’s goals. George uses attachment-based ideas alongside client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques to tailor work to each person. He speaks English and practices in Illinois as an LCPC.

Online support
Attachment-informed care and online therapy options
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present feelings and reactions. It helps people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships and offers ways to try new approaches. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening without judgment and helping people set their own goals; it suits those who want a supportive, paced space to speak and reflect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on current thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate on a plan that matches a person's needs, goals, and comfort with different methods. That plan can change over time as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, written reflections, or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or geographic constraints while keeping focus on the therapeutic goals.
