Dr. Sherry Aaker, LPC

Dr. Sherry Aaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, understanding support for things like anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem.

Her work pays attention to life transitions and the emotional fallout that follows. She helps people facing divorce, workplace stress, midlife changes, caregiving strain, and the aftereffects of domestic violence or addiction. Sessions often address feelings such as guilt, shame, emptiness, and struggles with intimacy.

Dr. Aaker uses practical methods to help people manage symptoms and build clearer daily routines. She draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to create tools people can use between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and solution-focused strategies are also part of her toolbox when they fit a person’s needs.

Her practice also considers attachment patterns and how early family relationships shape current reactions. She brings a faith-informed perspective when requested, and aims to balance emotional understanding with concrete steps forward. That can include goal-setting, skill practice, and coaching-style support.

People who prefer a calm, compassionate guide may find her style approachable. To begin, visitors are invited to follow the site's Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, value-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help when life feels stalled or when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current connections and coping, helping people understand recurring relationship patterns and repair them.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That collaboration may mean trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting what’s used based on progress and preference.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care across geographic locations when international arrangements are appropriate. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting while focusing on practical skills and real-life changes.
