About Cassandra
Cassandra Aamodt is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut who uses a direct, compassionate approach to help people manage anxiety and stress. She focuses on building a practical working relationship so clients can address the problems that feel most urgent in their lives.
Cassandra aims to create a calm setting where people can talk honestly and learn new ways to cope. Cassandra draws on client-centered methods to meet each person where they are.
Background and approach
She pairs that with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when patterns of thinking and emotion need clearer structure. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox for moments when self-awareness and motivation matter most.
She has three years of clinical experience and has supported people facing depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also works with concerns connected to parenting, career changes, compassion fatigue, and identity questions such as LGBTQ matters and gender dysphoria. Her background includes work with people coping with attachment, abandonment, and family of origin problems.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Cassandra commonly holds sessions in the evenings and on weekends while checking messages during weekdays. People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward feedback and a nonjudgmental manner.
She helps clients set clear goals and practices concrete skills together so progress feels measurable and relevant.
Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to each person's needs so the work moves at a comfortable pace. It helps when someone feels overwhelmed and needs a calm, steady space to sort things out. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior, then uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotional regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and relationship struggles; it can be helpful when someone needs tools to manage strong emotions.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those goals. If one approach doesn’t feel helpful, adjustments are made together until there is a good fit.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging makes brief check-ins or notes between sessions easy. These formats help clients fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy schedules while still using the same therapeutic techniques discussed above.
