Background and approach
She also has experience addressing domestic violence and issues related to drug and alcohol addiction. Her work blends practical problem solving with attention to each person’s story. In sessions she uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs.
That can include cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, motivational interviewing to support change, and client-centered listening that puts the person’s goals first. She also draws on solution-focused and existential ideas when they fit. Her style is collaborative and direct.
She helps people identify where they are stuck and then maps out steps for active change. Sessions often include concrete strategies you can try between meetings alongside space to talk about deeper concerns. Cassaundra encourages a good fit before beginning work together.
She invites people to be part of planning goals and deciding which approaches will be most helpful. She treats each person’s situation with respect and aims to be a steady partner in their progress.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on active listening and following the person’s pace. In online sessions this means the therapist prioritizes understanding what matters most to the client and shapes goals around those concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns and adapts well to video or phone sessions because specific techniques can be taught and practiced together.Cassaundra will collaborate with clients to find which approach or mix of approaches fits best. That decision is made together based on goals, needs, and what feels comfortable. She checks in about progress and adjusts methods as needed so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill teaching, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates between sessions. These options aim to make scheduling easier and maintain continuity of care across different circumstances.
