George Deegan, LCSW

George Deegan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 40 years of practice. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, LGBT concerns, and relationship issues including communication problems and divorce or separation. He also works with people dealing with guilt, shame, panic disorder, and panic attacks.

George listens first and talks second. He often begins by helping people name what they are feeling and by giving them room to describe hard moments. With grief, for example, he supports people who have lost a partner, parent, child, or friend and helps them find their own way to grieve without pressure to move on quickly.

His main clinical approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which he uses to help people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Sessions are practical and focus on skills you can try between meetings. He aims to build trust gradually so deeper concerns can be talked through when the person feels ready.

Across a long career George has worked with many kinds of people and draws on that experience to relate to real-life challenges. He describes himself as an imperfect person who understands the messiness of life and values straightforward conversation about feelings and behavior.

People who come to him can expect clear, down-to-earth discussion about what is happening now and small, doable steps to change patterns that cause stress or make coping harder. Before booking, confirm the current session options and scheduling details so they fit into everyday life.
