More about Casandra
- 22 years' experience
- Female
- LMSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan with over 20 years of professional work experience in gerontology, with a focus on supporting individuals and families living with dementia. I have gained knowledge and experience in working with older adults and caregivers through a variety of practice settings, such as clinics, residential care communities and community organizations, such as the Alzheimer's Association. I am passionate about helping clients understand and cope with aging issues associated with stress, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression.
I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and self-compassion into my approach to create a space for healing and to help clients move forward with challenges toward values-based experiences. Living with change and uncertainty related to life transitions and caregiving can be difficult. Building inner strength and resources within a support network can help you along the way. I believe that you are the expert of your experience and would appreciate the opportunity to learn together how best to assist you in working through things that challenge you. Taking mindful steps toward living a fulfilling life can take courage. Thank you for getting started.
I look forward to connecting with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
