Dr. Pia Scott-Boston , LPC

Dr. Pia Scott-Boston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She has 12 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the strain of life changes. Her work is informed by concerns often raised by women, including workplace stress and issues around purpose and self-worth.

She brings experience from higher education, nonprofit work, and state government. That mix helps her understand career and institutional pressures people face. She also has a background supporting veterans, college students, and people from multicultural backgrounds.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions aim to set clear goals and try small steps that can be used outside the session. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment methods, and narrative techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns and build values-based routines.

Pia emphasizes building a respectful, welcoming relationship from the first meeting. She listens for each person’s priorities and tailors the plan to fit their life and goals. She also brings coaching skills to support career questions and planning.

People who choose her often want help with communication problems, relationship strain, recovering from trauma and abuse, or navigating divorce and separation. She also supports those dealing with money concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and questions of life purpose. Her sessions are offered in English and organized around what each person wants to accomplish.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants to pursue a clearer sense of purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping after loss.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship. That approach helps people feel heard while they figure out goals and next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This means the plan can change as progress is made or as priorities shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions when face-to-face interaction matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a late-day check-in. Live chat and text messaging can support short check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
