About Geraldine

Geraldine (Geri) Godbolt is a licensed professional counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on one concern at a time while recognizing when multiple problems need attention together. Geri aims to help people make sense of their experiences and build new possibilities from their strengths.

She treats stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, and ADHD among other concerns. Geri also addresses issues such as grief, low self-esteem, anger, and the strain that comes with caregiving or major life changes.

Background and approach

LGBT and gender-related concerns are part of her practice focus. Geri uses Narrative Therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In sessions she asks questions, listens for patterns, and helps people reframe difficult stories about themselves.

She may suggest exercises, journaling, or practical homework to try between meetings. Assessment and periodic review guide her work so the plan can change as needed. She acknowledges that progress often takes time and that hard feelings can come up during the process.

Her style is collaborative - she invites clients to define goals together and to be active in the work. Geri practices from Georgia and conducts sessions in English. She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to connect.

Online session options

How Narrative and Acceptance-Based Work Online

Geraldine commonly draws on Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in online work. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate problems from identity, which can be useful for issues like shame, grief, or feeling stuck. ACT focuses on values and small actions people can take, and it helps with anxiety, depression, and coping when life feels overwhelming.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Geraldine will talk with each person about what feels most useful, try methods in sessions, and adjust based on what helps. She invites clients to set goals together and checks progress regularly so the plan can change when needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when that’s helpful. Phone sessions can be a good fit when a quieter space or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins, journaling prompts, or ongoing coaching between live meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
