About Geraldine
Geraldine (Geri) Godbolt is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on one concern at a time while also recognizing when conditions must be addressed together. Geri aims to help people explore their difficulties and build healthier ways of coping rooted in their strengths.
She describes counseling as a team effort where goals are set together and reached through steady effort.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical activities such as homework, journaling, and skill practice to extend progress beyond the appointment. Periodic reviews help make sure the plan stays useful and adjustments are made when needed. Geri draws on several approaches to match the needs of each person.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and existential ideas to guide sessions. This mix supports work on stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, anger, grief, and other concerns. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with additional graduate study in trauma.
She has experience leading clinical work in residential settings, including programs for people experiencing homelessness, and has worked with people facing complex, co-occurring issues. Geri expects honest effort and patience during the counseling process and explains there can be difficult feelings as change happens. She aims to walk alongside people as they regain stability and find clearer ways to handle life’s challenges.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Client-Centered Therapy (also called Person-Centered) prioritizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s own goals and pacing shape the work.Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. Progress is tracked together and the plan is adjusted if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, journaling between sessions, and support when email-style communication fits someone’s routine.
