Dr. Sherry Aaker, LPC

Dr. Sherry Aaker is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, relationship or intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, and major life changes. Her work blends practical strategies with steady emotional support.

Sherry draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and take small steps toward change. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and usable tools rather than long, abstract explanations.

Her background includes supporting people through divorce, workplace stress, midlife transitions, caregiver strain, and the fallout from abuse or other traumatic events. She also addresses issues tied to family of origin, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and substance-related struggles. The overall emphasis is on restoring daily functioning and helping clients regain a sense of purpose.

Sherry states that faith can be part of the work when clients want it included. She pairs that perspective with practical coaching to build resilience and forward movement. International clients may be accommodated, and sessions are conducted in English.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks larger problems into manageable parts by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions; it can help people understand why they feel distant, fearful, or overly worried in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and the issues that matter most. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day and keeping long-term work consistent. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to maintain regular check-ins, access coaching around life changes, and work on skills between meetings without extra travel time.
