Asres Getanek, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Asres

Asres Getanek is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings about 10 years of clinical experience to her work. She holds a master’s degree in Clinical Professional Psychology from Roosevelt University and practices in Georgia. She speaks English, Amharic, and Hebrew.

She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger, and coping with life changes. She also addresses relationship tension, parenting challenges, family concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Her style is direct and compassionate. In sessions she listens first and then helps clients notice strengths they already have. Conversations are tailored to each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan.

She uses practical tools to help people change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Her approach mixes talking, gentle questions, and concrete strategies. She can teach ways to reduce worry, manage strong emotions, and steady motivation during hard times.

She aims to help people see problems from different angles and build more workable responses. Choosing to start therapy can feel difficult, and she names that courage. Her work emphasizes respect, cultural sensitivity, and collaboration.

People who prefer straightforward guidance with warmth may find this approach helpful.

How these approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgment. The therapist reflects what the client says, asks open questions, and helps people identify their own goals and solutions; this approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often uses short exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and motivation problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will talk about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful and comfortable for the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping skills, guide short exercises, and follow progress over time, which helps keep momentum when life gets busy.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
