About Pia

Dr. Pia Scott-Boston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She brings 12 years of experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

She draws on Narrative Therapy alongside cognitive-behavioral and client-centered ideas to help people tell the story of their lives in a new way. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit each person's daily life. Her work often addresses career questions, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and finding purpose.

Background and approach

Her background includes roles in higher education, nonprofit work, and state government. She has supported veterans, college students, people with disabilities, and members of minority communities. That experience shapes how she notices cultural and workplace pressures in ordinary problems.

In the room she prioritizes a welcoming tone and practical tools. People leave with strategies they can use between sessions and clearer next steps for change. She also supports people facing divorce, communication breakdowns, money stress, and the aftermath of abuse.

Dr. Scott-Boston emphasizes collaboration. She works with each person to tailor sessions to their needs and preferences.

The goal is steady progress toward the life someone wants, not instant fixes.

Therapeutic approaches in online care

Dr. Scott-Boston uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and try out new, more helpful ways of describing their lives. This work can be useful for grief, transitions, identity questions, and long-standing patterns that no longer fit.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on accepting difficult feelings while taking values-guided actions. ACT can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of daily goals. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach as well, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person's priorities guide the agenda.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review options with the person, try methods that match their goals, and adjust as needed based on what helps most. Clients participate in deciding the focus and pace of sessions.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow a more interactive conversation, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging formats suit people who prefer to write between live meetings. These options make scheduling easier around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and help maintain steady progress without long commutes.
