About Asres
Asres Getanek is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings about 10 years of therapeutic experience. She holds a master’s degree in Clinical Professional Psychology from Roosevelt University and practices in Georgia. She speaks English, Amharic, and Hebrew and uses clear, direct conversation to make therapy easier to follow.
She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma and abuse. Relationship difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and life adjustments are also areas she addresses.
Background and approach
Sessions are adapted to the needs of each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. She centers the conversation on a client’s strengths and practical steps.
That might mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors, or slowing down with mindfulness exercises. Asres combines approaches like client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change how they think and act. She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship concerns and motivational interviewing when someone needs help finding direction.
Treatment plans are shaped together with each client’s goals in mind. People who prefer clear goals and straightforward tools often find sessions helpful. She invites clients to try small experiments between meetings and to notice what changes.
Getting started is framed as a gradual process, one step at a time.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change or improve in their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and choices and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking. The Gottman Method offers concrete tools for improving communication and problem-solving in close relationships and can be taught in sessions that include role practice and homework.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as progress is tracked, so treatment stays focused on what is most useful for each person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills in session. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text let people send quick updates, try shorter reflections, or use messaging between sessions for brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
