Cerissa Bartlett is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Georgia.
01About Cerissa
Cerissa Bartlett is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Georgia. She has twelve years of experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the strain that comes with major life changes. She also supports people facing relationship or family problems, parenting challenges, grief, addictions, and concerns related to identity and trauma.
In sessions she aims to build an accepting space where people can say what they really feel.
Background and approach
Her style is direct but warm, helping clients name problems and try practical steps to feel better. She encourages small, manageable changes rather than giant leaps at once. Cerissa often helps people navigate blended family issues, first responder stress, multicultural concerns, and postpartum depression.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide problem solving and coping skills. Conversations include setting realistic goals and practicing new ways of responding to difficult situations. Therapy with her can include short-term coaching-style work or longer conversations to process trauma and grief.
She will listen, offer feedback, and suggest exercises to use between sessions. The goal is to help people gain clarity, reduce overwhelm, and build routines that support daily life. Sessions are offered in English and take place online through a mix of video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Cerissa supports people who want a practical, steady approach while they work toward change.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Cerissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people learn new skills and manage symptoms. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, activity planning, and step-by-step problem solving to reduce overwhelm. Another approach emphasizes processing grief and trauma through paced conversations, grounding strategies, and building safety in daily routines to help reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are common - approaches can be mixed or changed as progress is assessed together.
Online sessions offer flexibility and multiple ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth conversations, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports brief updates or homework between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and busy days while maintaining continuity of care.
