Geri Cassady , LPC

Geri Cassady is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in the Metro Atlanta area of Georgia who brings nine years of clinical experience to her work with adolescents, adults, and couples. She combines a grounding in Cognitive Behavioral methods with an appreciation for whole-person care, integrating narrative and solution-focused ideas when helpful to address mood disorders, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, and challenges such as ADHD, addiction, and compassion fatigue.

Geri holds an LPC license - a state credential indicating professional training and authorization to practice counseling - and she is also nationally certified as a National Certified Counselor, reflecting additional standards of professional competence. Her clinical approach emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and practical skill-building so clients feel supported in making meaningful changes and managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, anger, and impulse control.

Skilled in addressing family-of-origin issues, communication difficulties, intimacy and parenting concerns, and workplace stressors, she aims to help people move toward more self-determined, satisfying lives. Geri applies trauma-informed strategies when needed and adapts her methods to each person’s strengths and goals, offering a compassionate, evidence-informed path through life transitions and persistent struggles.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Geri Cassady frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop new skills to manage anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work - it focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals and experiences guide the process, which is helpful for building self-esteem and improving relationships. When trauma has affected a person’s life, Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted strategies to process distressing events and reduce ongoing symptoms while restoring a sense of safety and control.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Geri works collaboratively with each client to select or adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so tools and strategies fit the client’s life.

Online therapy with Geri is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These modalities make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and to receive consistent support from licensed professionals without traveling to an office.
