Dr. Sherry Aaker

Dr. Sherry Aaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, anger, and trouble with self-esteem. Her work is practical and grounded in empathy, aiming to help people manage everyday struggles and make steady progress.

Her practice focuses on common life transitions and the emotions that come with them. She supports people navigating divorce, workplace stress, caregiving burdens, midlife changes, and recovery from abuse or addiction. She also addresses issues like abandonment, control problems, family of origin wounds, and communication difficulties.

Sherry uses a mix of proven approaches to meet each person where they are. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions. The aim is to teach skills, clarify values, and build habits that reduce distress.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She combines compassionate listening with clear tools people can try between sessions. She also brings sensitivity to spiritual concerns when clients want that to be part of the work.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by teaching practical actions aligned with personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then teaches skills to change them; it is often useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and can help people understand patterns in intimacy and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and then recommend ways of working together. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which methods to use and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm session formats before booking since none are specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and continue work from a different location. It can allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and for consistent weekly sessions when that rhythm is helpful. Ask about specific options during the matching and scheduling steps so sessions match personal and practical needs.
