About Asres

Asres Getanek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with about 10 years of clinical experience. She earned a master’s degree in Clinical Professional Psychology from Roosevelt University and has worked in a variety of settings during her career.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each client's unique needs. Her work includes support for stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, grief, adjustment to life changes, parenting challenges, anger, trauma and abuse, and family-related issues.

She approaches clients from a multicultural perspective and seeks to build on each person’s existing strengths, offering new ways to view problems and practical strategies to improve daily functioning. Asres aims to partner with clients to uncover resources and develop skills that foster a more fulfilling life.

She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and focuses on creating an individualized path so clients can move toward their goals at a comfortable pace.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it is structured and skill-focused, making it well suited to online exercises and between-session practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship by validating experience and supporting clients to find their own solutions, which helps create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space even when meeting remotely. The Gottman Method targets relationship patterns and communication skills, offering concrete tools for couples to practice and refine during and between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt methods over time so the plan remains useful and relevant. Clients are encouraged to raise questions about approach and pace so therapy reflects their priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access care from home or other convenient locations, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while using the same therapeutic tools and collaborative planning as in-person work.
