About Germe
Germe Poston is a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Washington with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English.
Poston has provided support for sexual health concerns, first responder issues, and relationship strain. She addresses topics such as attachment problems, communication difficulties, infidelity, blended family challenges, and body image concerns. The biography notes experience with gender dysphoria, BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, and related guilt or shame.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and practical direction. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's perspective and to build clear goals together. Mindfulness Therapy is used to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up by them.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are described as ways to identify strengths and small steps forward. These methods are useful for coping with impulsivity, commitment questions, or making changes after separation or divorce. Poston adjusts the pacing and focus to the issues each person brings.
Practical matters are handled up front. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the provider's online options.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and priorities. Online sessions using this approach usually involve the therapist listening closely, reflecting what the client says, and helping set goals that feel doable. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to notice thoughts and feelings without reacting, which can help with anxiety and stress during day-to-day situations.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and comfort. That may mean trying a mindfulness exercise for several sessions or shifting toward solution-focused steps to address a specific problem like communication or a life change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It can also let someone use audio-only when video is not practical, or rely on video when visual cues are helpful. These practical choices are discussed and agreed on during the matching and scheduling process.
