About Cassandra
Cassandra Gadouas is a licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with concerns like depression, panic attacks, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and struggles with self-esteem. Cassandra aims to make therapy clear and practical so people can take steps that feel manageable.
She focuses on short, achievable goals during sessions and adapts her approach to each person. Conversations are direct and respectful, with an emphasis on building everyday skills for coping and emotional regulation.
Background and approach
Cassandra draws on several well-known therapy methods to guide the work together. Over two decades in the field have included work with trauma and abuse, mood disorders, eating and sleeping problems, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing life transitions, career stress, and feelings of isolation or abandonment.
This range reflects a practical, outcomes-oriented practice rather than a single fixed method. Cassandra uses tools from cognitive and behavioral frameworks as well as emotion-focused and trauma-processing approaches. She prefers to tailor techniques to fit each person's goals and pace.
That means some sessions concentrate on skills like managing panic or building communication, while others focus on processing difficult memories. Sessions are conducted in English and she is licensed in Florida as an LMHC. Cassandra accepts international clients and works through formats that fit today’s schedules, aiming to make therapy accessible for people balancing busy lives.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then move toward actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, life changes, and finding direction when someone feels overwhelmed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, panic attacks, mood concerns, and problems with sleep or motivation.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-informed method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity. It can help when past events continue to cause anxiety, flashbacks, or avoidance.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and may combine techniques over time. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that targets immediate symptoms and longer term change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet those goals. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for in-depth sessions, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows a real-time text conversation, and messaging supports shorter check-ins between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care when life gets in the way.
