About Cassandra

Cassandra Waudby is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida who focuses on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. She draws on a decade of clinical experience to support people dealing with depression, grief, addictive behaviors, eating-related issues, and struggles with self-esteem.

Background and approach

Cassandra emphasizes practical skills and reflective exploration to help clients move through life transitions and address patterns linked to attachment, codependency, or family-of-origin difficulties. Her work blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and dialectical strategies, allowing sessions to alternate between skill-building and deeper meaning-making.

She also uses motivational interviewing and existential perspectives when clients face questions about life purpose, isolation, or persistent feelings of emptiness. Cassandra’s Florida LMHC credential (FL LMHC MH20073) underpins a balanced approach that aims to be collaborative and goal-oriented while honoring each person’s values and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Many clients find cognitive behavioral therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thoughts and building concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, or compulsive patterns; it focuses on changing thinking and behavior in practical ways. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the therapeutic relationship and listening, giving space for clients to explore values, self-worth, and life purpose while feeling heard. Dialectical behavior therapy blends acceptance and change strategies and offers specific skills for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress when facing intense emotions or relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and the therapist works collaboratively to tailor methods to a person's goals, preferences, and situation. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust strategies over time so work stays relevant and achievable.

Online appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or access support from home. These options provide flexibility in how and when conversations happen, allowing clients to choose the format that best supports their needs.
