About Geoffrey

Geoffrey Stratton is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of practice in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

He draws on evidence-informed approaches to support clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, grief and loss, addictions, ADHD, and difficulties with self-esteem and motivation. Geoffrey emphasizes a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate stance while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's situation.

He adapts interventions to meet individual needs, combining relational perspectives and practical skills to address issues like intimacy, communication problems, career adjustments, chronic illness, and trauma-related concerns. Geoffrey also works with people coping with parenting strains, caregiver stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, and complexities such as adoption, abandonment, and attachment-related struggles.

His practice accepts international clients and offers multiple session formats to increase accessibility. Prospective clients are invited to take the first step toward change by completing a brief matching process and scheduling according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as made up of distinct parts and invites clients to relate to those parts with curiosity and compassion, which can help with internal conflict, self-criticism, and trauma-related patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and emotional bonds to improve communication, intimacy, and responses to loss or attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Geoffrey will work with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time as needs change and progress is assessed together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in therapy from varied locations and schedules. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or travel, and they support ongoing access to licensed professionals who tailor interventions to each individual's situation.
