About Asres

Asres Getanek is a Licensed Professional Counselor with about 10 years of clinical experience. She holds a master’s degree in Clinical Professional Psychology from Roosevelt University and practices in Georgia.

Background and approach

She speaks English, Amharic, and Hebrew and draws on her multicultural background in sessions. Asres focuses on everyday concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

She also helps people navigate grief, parenting challenges, anger, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, and major life changes. Her work centers on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first and tailors conversations to each person's needs.

She looks for strengths clients already have and helps build on them to reach clearer goals. Asres uses a mix of approaches to match the situation.

That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts, client-centered listening to clarify values, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change, and tools drawn from the Gottman Method for relationship patterns. She adapts methods to what fits each person.

Starting therapy with Asres begins with a short intake and a plan based on your priorities. She encourages small, steady steps and checks in often to make sure progress feels meaningful.

If you are ready to begin, she guides you through the scheduling process.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care

Asres commonly blends the Gottman Method, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. The Gottman Method offers practical ways to notice and change negative interaction patterns and build better communication. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and empathy, helping people feel heard and clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with clients to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps keep work focused and relevant.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people read visual cues and practice new skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth is needed or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can support quick processing, ongoing encouragement, and brief skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
