More about Cassandra

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC, LMHC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults and their families. I spent 2 years of my career working at a Children's Advocacy Center, 7 years working in an Adolescent treatment facility, 6 years in private practice, and 2 years in a family counseling center. I have helped others with a wide range of challenges such as anxiety and depression, self-injurious behaviors, low self-esteem, co-dependency concerns, sexual trauma, as well as relationship concerns amongst couples and amongst family members. I have a Specialist in Education degree from Georgia State University and I am Licensed to practice in both Georgia and Florida.

When working with clients I use a blend of cognitive-behavioral approaches as well as reality therapy and humanistic approaches. You will find that I enjoy the creative processes as well and may encourage clients to engage in art therapy techniques in order to stimulate a different way of thinking about life's challenges. My goal for clients is for them to feel safe and to feel heard when they meet with me.

Clients are the experts on their life obstacles and I view myself as merely a witness to the client's strength and resourcefulness as they overcome these obstacles. It is my sincerest desire to simply be a guide on the route to wholeness.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I’ve been working with Cassandra for about 6 months now and I really feel like I have formed a bond with her. She offers me a safe and judgement-free space to share my thoughts, while helping me identify what I need to work on. Her words of wisdom and encouragement really help me through my rough times and help me embrace the good times as well. I’m so glad I was matched with her and will continue to work with her!

I have truly enjoyed my sessions with Cassandra. She Listens to me, has an open mind to find solutions and thinks of alternative points of view or new techniques I really like and enjoy trying. Especially with issues I didn’t think there were other possible solutions for. She’s empathetic while also being honest. We talk about marriage, life, career, kids, discipline, and she has great expertise and input on it all, Thank you ❤️
