About Geri
Geri Cassady is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She works with adults on relationship problems, grief, depression, and life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward so people can talk through what is worrying them without jargon.
Geri draws on nearly a decade of counseling work and many more years as a helping professional. That background informs practical strategies she offers for coping with intense emotions, managing mood shifts, and handling workplace or family stress.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to notice patterns and try small changes that make daily life easier. Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Narrative and solution-focused ideas help people rewrite parts of their story and set concrete, reachable goals. For people who have experienced trauma, she blends trauma-focused methods with client-centered listening. That combination supports safer processing of painful memories while keeping the client’s pace and choices in focus.
Geri also addresses concerns like impulsivity, attention difficulties, addiction, and intimacy-related issues. Sessions can include practical homework, clear coping tools, and conversations about communication and family of origin issues. The tone is collaborative: she helps clients notice what works, adjust goals, and build routines that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can state their concerns and choose the pace of change; this helps with anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It uses clear exercises and experiments to test new behaviors and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process distressing events in manageable steps while teaching grounding and coping skills for flashbacks or strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what feels most useful. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions match their needs and preferences over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging works well for quick daily support, homework check-ins, and people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
