About

About Asres

Asres Getanek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with about 10 years of clinical experience. She trained in Clinical Professional Psychology and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions. Her tone is straightforward and caring for people facing stressful life moments.

She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and adjustment to life changes. She also supports people working on relationship concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. Her style is collaborative and practical. She listens first to understand strengths and values, then works with clients to try new ways of thinking and behaving.

Sessions often include tools you can use between meetings to manage symptoms and handle tense moments. Asres draws from several approaches when planning care, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She adapts methods to the goals a person brings into therapy and to what feels most useful in real life.

She speaks English, Amharic, and Hebrew, and offers a mix of session formats to fit different schedules. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling your first appointment. The focus is on practical help so you can move forward at your own pace.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people build on their own strengths to make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that fit daily life, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Expect a mix of listening, skill-building exercises, and check-ins about progress so the approach fits your needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers voice only. Live chat and text let people check in quickly, share short updates, or have a shorter session during a busy day. These options let clients fit therapy into work, childcare, or other routines while using the therapeutic methods described above.
