About Geoffrey

Geoffrey Stratton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 17 years of practice. He works with people dealing with family conflict, grief and loss, motivation struggles, low self-esteem, and depression. He also supports adults managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, and other life changes.

He frames sessions as a straight conversation about what is happening at home and what the client wants to change. He adapts how he talks and plans work based on each person’s situation. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and building everyday coping skills.

Geoffrey uses a mix of approaches to match the problem at hand. He draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps. He also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Attachment-based thinking informs work on close relationships and recurring patterns with loved ones.

People can expect a direct, problem-solving mindset alongside attention to emotions. He addresses issues such as parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, sleeping and eating problems, ADHD-related struggles, and caregiver stress. The work often combines skills practice, focused conversation, and planning for real-life changes.

He accepts international clients who can work across time zones. Before a first session, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial meeting to review goals and next steps.

How sessions work

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Geoffrey commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels and acts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Geoffrey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking what helps, adjusting techniques, and tracking practical progress over weeks.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or video meetings when face-to-face travel would be difficult. International clients are accepted, and the first step is completing the short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to review needs and plan next steps.
