About Geri

Geri Cassady is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with nine years of experience in mental health.

Background and approach

She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other mood and coping-related struggles. Geri brings a client-focused perspective that emphasizes understanding each person’s broader life context and personal strengths.

Her style blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and narrative ideas, and she also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused elements when appropriate. This flexible approach helps her tailor interventions to concrete problems like communication breakdowns, family of origin wounds, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, workplace concerns, and gender-related issues.

Geri aims to collaborate with clients to develop practical skills, clarify values, and navigate transitions more effectively. Based in the Metro Atlanta area of Georgia, she offers multiple session formats and works to create a supportive atmosphere where people can explore concerns, experiment with new strategies, and move toward more satisfying and empowered ways of living.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Geri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a practical, skills-based way to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related concerns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes understanding the person, empathic listening, and creating a collaborative relationship that supports personal growth and self-directed change. Narrative Therapy is another tool she employs to help people reframe their life stories and separate themselves from problem-saturated identities, which can be particularly helpful for issues like shame, guilt, and family of origin concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. She collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adapts techniques over time as needs evolve. This collaborative planning ensures interventions remain relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and accessibility from different locations. These options allow clients to engage in regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care even when in-person visits are not possible.
