Geraldine Leary, LCSW

Geraldine Leary is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing anger, addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and other life changes. Geraldine speaks English and practices in Arizona.

She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people change patterns that no longer serve them. Geraldine listens for strengths, recurring patterns, and the internal dialogue that shapes choices. She then helps people identify concrete steps to shift those patterns and reduce reactive responses like snapping or simmering resentment.

Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and client-centered ways of working. That means sessions often combine skill building, checking the logic of thoughts, and short experiments to see what works in daily life. Geraldine emphasizes calm, direct feedback and a collaborative plan rather than long theory talks.

She has worked in outpatient, residential, in-home, and hospital settings and with a broad age range. Her background includes individual, group, family, and couples counseling. Geraldine aims to help people quiet busy thinking, stay present, and take small manageable steps toward their goals.

If someone wants to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Payments use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and session costs vary with location.
