Asres Getanek

Asres Getanek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with about 10 years of experience. She earned a master’s degree in Clinical Professional Psychology from Roosevelt University. She describes her work as respectful, sensitive, and compassionate and aims to tailor conversations and care to each person’s needs.

Her approach centers on finding strengths and shifting perspectives. She helps people notice skills they already have and build on them. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and clear goals for change.

Asres has worked with concerns such as stress and anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life adjustments. She draws on techniques from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change patterns that cause pain.

She also uses mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to support coping and stick-to-it strategies. The Gottman Method informs her work around relationship issues and communication skills. Language options include English, Amharic, and Hebrew.

Asres says the first step is often the hardest and she aims to make it easier. She personalizes plans rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Prospective clients can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire.

Approaches that guide online conversations

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters most to the client, and helps clients name their goals and choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses clear exercises to test new ways of behaving and thinking.

Finding the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking progress and adjusting the plan when needed so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It may reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins between busy commitments, and make weekly work more consistent. Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Licensed professionals can then tailor session length and pacing to match goals and daily routines.
