About Sherry
Dr. Sherry Aaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and self-esteem struggles. Her style is compassionate and steady, aimed at helping people find practical steps forward during hard times.
In sessions she focuses on real-life changes. That includes navigating divorce and separation, caregiver stress, workplace pressure, and other major transitions. She also supports people facing issues like anger, sleeping problems, intimacy concerns, substance use, and feelings of emptiness or guilt.
Her work draws on several therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide conversations and practices. She often combines skills-based strategies with conversations about values and relationships to help clients make lasting changes.
Dr. Aaker mentions a faith-informed perspective as part of her approach, and she uses that background when clients want to include it in their work. She also lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among her focus areas, and she helps people process reactions and practical next steps after disruptive events.
She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps that match those values. It helps when someone feels stuck, unsure about purpose, or overwhelmed by difficult thoughts and emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and stress management.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships shape expectations and intimacy. It can be useful for people working through communication problems, trust issues, or feelings of abandonment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then adapt methods to fit those needs. That collaborative process helps make sessions practical and focused on what matters most to the client.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible for international clients who speak English to connect with a licensed professional in Georgia. Confirm the available formats and scheduling details when you set up your first meeting.
