About Geraldine
Geraldine (Geri) Godbolt is a licensed professional counselor with eight years of experience. She centers work on each person's immediate concerns while also recognizing when multiple issues need attention at once. Geri describes counseling as a collaborative process where goals are set together and reached through steady effort. She encourages active participation in and out of sessions, including practical exercises or journaling when useful.
Geri sees stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addictions, and issues around self-esteem and grief among her core areas of focus. She also pays attention to related struggles such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and isolation. Her practice includes work with LGBT issues, gender dysphoria, first responder concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach draws from several evidence-informed models, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. She adapts methods to fit a person's life situation and revisits the plan as progress is made. Homework, skills practice, and periodic review of goals are common parts of the process.
Geri trained in psychology and counseling and holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Certificate of Graduate Studies in Trauma. She also references experience in residential settings working with people facing homelessness, parenting challenges, and substance use concerns. She offers services from Georgia and communicates in English.
Her practice notes that counseling can bring up difficult feelings as part of change, and that steady commitment is often needed. For men seeking help with wellbeing, Geri frames therapy as a partnership to build practical coping and clearer personal insight.
How these approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions even when uncomfortable feelings appear. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and living with long-term mood concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, accepting relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-discovery and personal growth.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Geri will work together with each person to match goals, needs, and preferences to methods that fit. That may mean combining techniques or trying different tools over time while checking progress and adjusting plans as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time so a focus can stay on the work at hand. Licensed professionals can use these approaches in remote sessions to teach skills, review homework, practice coping techniques, and plan steps toward clearer goals. Ask about the exact formats offered when you schedule to be sure they meet your practical needs.
