About Geri

Geri Cassady is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. She also supports clients facing trauma and abuse, addiction, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and life transitions. Her manner is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping clients make practical changes that fit their lives.

Geri draws on a few proven approaches to shape sessions. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using it to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift everyday behaviors.

Background and approach

She also uses Client-Centered techniques to listen closely and build trust so clients can lead the pace of their work. Narrative and Solution-Focused Therapy inform how she helps people rewrite harmful stories and set concrete next steps. For trauma-related concerns she applies Trauma-Focused methods designed to stabilize distress and reduce overwhelming symptoms.

Sessions often mix talking, skill practice, and simple homework you can do between meetings. Geri has nine years of professional experience in mental health and holds the LPC credential. She aims to create clear goals with each person and to teach skills that make day-to-day life easier.

Many clients appreciate the practical focus and steady support she brings to parenting, relationship, and mood-related work. To begin, she guides people through a short intake and scheduling process so therapy fits around family and work demands. Geri emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support

How therapy approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they hear, and helps clients clarify their own goals and values. This approach can help when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort through parenting stress or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood. Sessions use concrete exercises to test negative thoughts and practice different responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and ADHD-related struggles. Solution-Focused elements add short-term goal setting so clients can see small wins quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps the client make steady progress, with the client involved in each decision.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, or flexible contact between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules.
