About George
George Kakkanatt welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. He works with clients who are facing low self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, panic attacks, or difficulty finding purpose. Sessions are offered in English and Malayalam and take place online through a variety of formats.
He is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in Texas with 27 years of experience. George focuses on clear, practical steps that fit into daily life.
Background and approach
He listens for what matters most and helps people set small, manageable goals. In session he talks through coping strategies, communication skills, and ways to reduce panic and intense mood swings. The aim is to leave each meeting with something useful to try between sessions.
His work includes support for those dealing with chronic pain, illness, and disability as well as problems with control, impulsivity, guilt, and shame. He also helps people process separation, forgiveness, and isolation. Themes around men’s issues and life stage transitions are part of his practice.
George draws on many evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with mood disorders and post-traumatic stress. He matches approaches to each person’s needs and preferences rather than using one fixed method. That lets him focus on what will work for a given situation.
Practical matters are simple: sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Cost varies with location and subscription options can be canceled at any time. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.
Evidence-based methods and online care
George uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and anxiety problems. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. This method helps people notice triggers, test negative thoughts, and practice new responses.Another approach centers on stabilizing mood and managing intense shifts in energy and emotion. It includes tracking symptoms, building routines, and learning concrete skills to reduce impulsivity and manage panic. These techniques are useful for people with mood disorders or frequent mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. That collaboration helps pick techniques that fit the client’s life and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat is a quicker check-in, and messaging supports ongoing processing between meetings. These options help people fit sessions into work, home, and other commitments while working with licensed professionals.
