About Sherry
Dr. Sherry Aaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, and self-esteem struggles.
Her style is warm and straightforward, focused on practical steps people can use right away. She pays attention to how life changes shape emotions and behavior. That includes separation, caregiver strain, workplace pressure, and other major shifts.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to reduce isolation and help people find a sense of purpose again. Dr. Aaker brings several evidence-informed approaches into sessions, using tools that match each person’s needs.
She works with thoughts, emotions, and patterns to build coping skills and clearer choices. The work often focuses on getting through a crisis and then strengthening daily routines and relationships. People meet her for both short-term goals and longer exploration.
She offers coaching-style strategies for decision making and skill practice between sessions. Therapy can include concrete exercises for sleep, anger, and stress management. She conducts sessions in English and welcomes clients from outside the United States.
Appointments are available through multiple remote formats so people can choose what fits their life. To begin, a simple questionnaire and scheduling step connects someone to her practice.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete techniques to change them, which often helps with anxiety, sleep, and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people improve emotional safety and connection in their relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Aaker will discuss goals and try methods that match a person’s needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. She aims to combine practical skills with reflection so clients can see what works for them.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy days and different schedules. Video calls let people work face to face when that feels important. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or for someone who prefers writing. These options let clients pick what best fits their routine and communication style.
