Rick George, LICSW

Rick George offers a steady, practical presence for people facing hard times. He speaks plainly and listens closely to help people sort out history, current problems, and next steps. Rick aims to create a space where clients feel heard and can make clear decisions about their lives.

Rick brings ten years of experience as a LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker working in Washington. He often uses cognitive behavioral ideas as a base, combined with solution-focused and psychodynamic perspectives. That mix lets him address patterns of thought and behavior while also looking at deeper life themes that influence choices.

In sessions Rick helps people break problems into manageable parts. He supports practical steps to change habits, improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and rebuild relationships. He also works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, grief, trauma and depression, along with process and sex addictions and issues around non-monogamous relationships.

Rick describes his role as a partner in the work. He talks through options, helps people weigh choices, and encourages small experiments that lead to clearer outcomes. His approach balances short-term problem solving with attention to the stories that shape behavior.

For those ready to begin, Rick asks that clients use the platform Start Therapy flow to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
