Background and approach

With 17 years of clinical experience and a graduate degree in Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio, she brings a grounded, practical perspective to therapy and emphasizes building coping skills and emotional understanding.

Her background includes roles in mental health treatment centers, non-profit organizations, and middle and high school environments, where she worked with children, teens in the foster care system, and families. Cassandra integrates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness practices, narrative approaches, and client-centered principles to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related challenges and emphasizes practical strategies to reduce symptoms and increase daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving clients space to explore their feelings while the therapist supports self-directed growth. This approach can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, and relationship difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and patterns of reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to determine which methods fit a client’s goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment often blends techniques so that skill-building and deeper exploration happen together, with the therapist adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or school. These formats make it easier to receive consistent care without needing to travel, allowing sessions to fit into varied schedules while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
