Geri Cassady , LPC

Geri Cassady is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and issues related to intimacy and parenting. She also supports those dealing with addictions, anger, ADHD, mood disorders, and the strain that comes from life changes. Geri works with concerns that commonly affect women and addresses issues like guilt, shame, and isolation.

Geri uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions so clients can see small changes quickly. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and develop different habits. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused strategies, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when those approaches suit the need.

Her background includes nearly a decade of clinical experience as an LPC and many more years as a helping professional across public and private settings. That mix has shaped a flexible, down-to-earth style geared toward real-world problems. Geri aims to create a space where people feel heard and can try out new ways of coping.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Conversations cover what is happening now and what can be done differently. She helps people set manageable steps and checks progress along the way.

Geri commonly addresses family of origin concerns, communication problems, workplace stress, and compassion fatigue. She can also help with self-harm thoughts, post-traumatic stress, and bipolar mood management using focused therapeutic tools.

People who choose her often want a therapist who speaks plainly, offers specific strategies, and works alongside them to meet daily challenges.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room and on building a trusting relationship. The therapist listens closely and helps the client lead the pace and topics, which can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions identify unhelpful thought patterns and teach practical tools to change reactions to stress, anxiety, or mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which method fits a client’s goals and preferences. Choices may shift as needs change, and the plan is updated collaboratively.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper, interactive conversations. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts without being on camera and can fit into busy days. These formats offer flexibility to get consistent support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
