About Sherry
Dr. Sherry Aaker is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and relationship concerns.
Her work is steady and practical, aimed at helping clients make small, usable changes day to day. She often helps people dealing with trauma, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. Clients who are coping with big life shifts - divorce, caregiving burdens, or changes in purpose - will find a straightforward approach.
Background and approach
Dr. Aaker also addresses substance concerns, control issues, and feelings of emptiness or guilt. Her style blends evidence-based methods with attention to attachment and personal values.
She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and solution-focused tools are used when clients need practical coping skills or short-term goal work. Sessions tend to be collaborative and homework-friendly.
Dr. Aaker helps clients set realistic goals, try simple experiments between sessions, and track progress. The tone is empathetic but direct, with an emphasis on improving daily functioning.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and a subscription model is used, which can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It is useful for anxiety, values conflicts, and problems that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles, often helping with depression, worry, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds shape current reactions and communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Over a few sessions they will try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan together so it matches real needs and daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, while phone can suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text messaging work well for brief coaching, ongoing progress notes, and quick skill reminders between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and travel schedules while using the approaches above to address stress, anger, trauma, and life transitions.
