Georgaki's research employs phenomenological methodologies and video analysis to investigate shared histories in music therapy with autistic children, family-centered interventions, and therapeutic processes. Her work bridges clinical practice with academic inquiry through interdisciplinary collaborations focused on enhancing musical engagement and well-being across diverse populations.
Recent scholarly output reveals a concentrated trajectory toward evidence-based practices for neurodiverse populations, particularly examining therapist-child behavioral synchrony in autism interventions and school-based collaborative frameworks between music therapy and educational systems.

- Doctoral Scholarship from Anglia Ruskin University
As Clinical Placement Coordinator, she supervises music therapy trainees and coordinates practicum experiences while contributing to randomized control trials through therapy delivery, participant recruitment, parent advisory services, and treatment fidelity assessments. Her ongoing clinical work with adolescents having severe learning disabilities and cross-border supervision practice in the UK and Greece demonstrate sustained professional engagement beyond academia.
Through CIMTR, she participates in research teams advancing music therapy science with emphasis on autism spectrum disorders and family systems, integrating clinical insights with empirical investigation to shape therapeutic methodologies.
