About George
George Becker is an LCSW with five decades of clinical experience in Illinois. He works in English and Spanish and focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship difficulties. He also helps people facing addiction, trauma, and questions about intimacy and identity. He explains things plainly and aims to create an approachable space to begin difficult conversations.
His background includes long experience serving the Latino community and many years working in public schools. That history shaped his interest in family conflict, parenting concerns, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. He often helps people navigate life transitions such as aging, divorce, and career changes.
In sessions he listens for the problems that matter most and adapts the conversation to the person in front of him. He pays attention to attachment, abandonment worries, and patterns like codependency or control issues. His work also addresses complex concerns including domestic violence, dependent personality features, and bipolar-related stress.
George uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors plans to each person’s needs. He aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate while helping people take practical steps forward. He supports both English and Spanish speakers and accepts international clients when appropriate.

How evidence-based methods fit into online care
George uses broadly evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical change and clearer relationships. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and then trying small experiments to change them; this helps with anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Another common method looks at attachment and relationship histories to understand how past losses or abandonment shape present intimacy and communication problems; this can help when people struggle with connection and trust.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to define goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan based on what actually works. That means starting with a conversation about needs and making changes as you learn together.

It also lets people keep therapy consistent across moves or when living abroad, which may be helpful for international clients.
