Geri Cassady, LPC

Geri Cassady is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and trauma. She also supports those coping with parenting challenges, addiction concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and major life changes. Geri works to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

Geri brings nine years of clinical experience to her counseling. She emphasizes a whole-person view and listens for how life events, family history, and daily patterns affect mood and behavior. Her primary style draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, paired with client-centered listening and narrative work to connect beliefs and actions.

Sessions focus on practical steps that fit into everyday life. She helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and set realistic goals. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small changes that build momentum over time.

When trauma is part of the story, she uses trauma-focused approaches alongside other methods to support safety and gradual recovery. Geri adapts the pace to each person and prioritizes clear, compassionate communication.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy usable for busy schedules. Sessions are held with attention to what each person needs right now and how to move forward one step at a time.

Online approaches that focus on practical change

Geri commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to address everyday problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then test new, practical ways of thinking and acting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and guiding conversations at the person’s pace to build trust and clarity.

She also draws on Narrative Therapy when helpful, which looks at the stories people tell about themselves and explores alternative narratives that open up new choices. Choosing an approach usually happens together - the therapist and client discuss goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can be useful for brief check-ins or busy days. Video calls let the therapist and client use tone and facial expression during deeper sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can continue even when life is hectic.
