01About Pia
Dr. Pia Scott-Boston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on anxiety, depression, grief, life changes, and issues that affect how people feel about themselves.
She also helps with career questions, relationships, trauma and abuse, and coaching toward clearer goals. Her training includes a Doctorate in Education and a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling. Over more than a decade she has worked in higher education, non-profit organizations, and state government.
Background and approach
That background informs a practical style that aims to connect real-life concerns to therapy work. In sessions she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and narrative approaches. Those methods are used flexibly to match what an individual says they need.
The focus is on helping people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and try small experiments that fit their day-to-day life. Dr. Scott-Boston emphasizes a welcoming, compassionate relationship from the first meeting.
She works with people who are navigating transitions, exploring life purpose, or rebuilding after loss or trauma. The goal is to build skills that carry forward beyond sessions and support steady progress. Finding therapy can feel like a big step.
She aims to make that first step easier by helping clients set clear goals and apply solutions that work for them.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on building a warm, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel heard and can explore their goals. This approach supports self-discovery and stronger decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to test methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That means techniques can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling more flexible. Video calls work well for fuller conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth needs, and messaging formats are useful for ongoing support between meetings. These options let people fit sessions into busy lives and maintain regular contact without traveling.
