About Geri

Geri Cassady is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and grief. She works with adults and couples and addresses mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. Geri also supports people facing trauma, substance-related issues, anger, low self-esteem, and difficulties with intimacy.

She practices in Georgia and provides care in English. Geri draws on nearly a decade of counseling experience along with many more years as a helping professional.

Background and approach

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what’s happening now, what the person wants to change, and small steps that can make daily life easier. She blends supportive listening with goal-oriented tools so clients leave with clear next steps.

Her main guiding method is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and then teaches skills to shift patterns. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to create an open, respectful space and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories. Solution-Focused ideas guide brief, goal-directed work when practical changes are the priority.

Geri’s background includes work in community agencies and independent practice. That mix shaped a flexible style that fits different needs and schedules. She emphasizes collaboration and keeps language plain so busy parents can follow along.

Parents looking for help with communication, family stress, parenting decisions, or coping after loss will find a simple, down-to-earth approach. Geri aims to make progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy is built around respectful listening and working at the client’s pace, focusing on what matters most to the person in front of her. This approach helps people feel heard and more able to explore parenting stress, relationship strain, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, coping with change, and problems with motivation or impulse control.

She will work with clients to find the best fit among these methods and others when needed. Figuring out which approach to use is a collaborative process that depends on the person’s goals, the issues at hand, and what feels most comfortable.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to keep regular meetings, try short check-ins between sessions, and adjust how support is delivered as life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods so clients get practical strategies and steady support without rearranging their whole day.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
