About Asres
Asres Getanek is a Licensed Professional Counselor with about 10 years of clinical experience. She earned a master’s degree in Clinical Professional Psychology from Roosevelt University and practices in Georgia. She speaks English, Amharic, and Hebrew and brings a multicultural perspective to her work.
She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She also supports clients facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and adjustment issues.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Asres centers conversations on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She looks for individual strengths and helps clients notice different perspectives.
That often means talking about daily habits, thought patterns, and small changes that add up over time. Her work draws on Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other methods. She uses those tools to help people tell and reframe their stories, name unhelpful thinking, and practice new ways of responding.
She also incorporates mindfulness and relationship-focused strategies when they fit. People who value a collaborative, culturally aware approach tend to do well with her. She invites clients to be active partners in setting goals and shaping the plan.
Getting started is framed as a step forward, and she offers practical guidance along the way.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
How narrative and practical methods work online
Online sessions with Asres often use Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Narrative work asks you to describe events and meanings, then look for alternative threads that support change and growth. It can be useful for concerns like depression, grief, and coping with life changes.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship. This approach focuses on your goals and feelings and helps you find your own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used selectively, targets patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety and improve mood through concrete exercises and practice.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with you to decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. That process may shift as you make progress, and treatment plans are adjusted together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and fit busy schedules. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to arrange around daily life.
