Geri Cassady , LPC

Geri Cassady is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. As an LPC, she holds a state license to provide mental health counseling and draws on a compassionate, client-centered stance to help people move through difficult life moments with greater ease and agency.

She works with adolescents, adults, and couples, addressing a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, addictions, parenting and family challenges, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with major life changes. She also focuses on related areas such as communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, men's and women's issues, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm.

Her therapeutic approach is guided primarily by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical method that helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - while also integrating client-centered, narrative, solution-focused, and trauma-focused techniques when appropriate. She emphasizes understanding the whole person and collaborates with clients to tailor care that honors their goals, values, and strengths. Geri aims to create an empathetic, supportive environment that empowers clients to build more satisfying, self-directed lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Geri integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered approaches to support clients in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, respect, and collaboration, giving clients space to explore their values and decisions while the therapist supports their self-directed growth. Narrative Therapy can also be used to examine the stories people tell about themselves and to rewrite those narratives in more empowering ways, which often helps with identity, trauma, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Geri collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps create a plan that feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These modalities make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in care in a format that feels most comfortable.
