Dr. Sherry Aaker, LPC

Dr. Sherry Aaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger, and supports those facing major life changes or struggles with self-esteem and intimacy.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, and issues that arise from family of origin or blended family situations.

She uses several established therapeutic methods in sessions.

In conversation she helps people notice patterns, try new responses, and set practical goals for change.

Dr. Aaker describes her work as faith-informed and attentive to the whole person. She outlines specific focus on feelings such as guilt, shame, and emptiness, and on life events like divorce, caregiving, and aging. Her approach mixes discussion, skills practice, and short-term coaching when helpful.

People who come to her for anger concerns often want straightforward tools to manage flare-ups, rebuild strained relationships, or reduce work-related frustration. She encourages collaborative planning so clients leave sessions with clear next steps and manageable practices to try between appointments.
