She supports people working through relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Cassi aims to make sessions simple and useful. She talks with clients about communication skills, setting boundaries, and building self-compassion.
Background and approach
She also helps people facing obsessional thoughts, social anxiety, workplace stress, and feelings of isolation. Clients can expect straightforward goal-setting and short-term strategies alongside deeper work when it feels right. Cassi pays attention to attachment concerns, abandonment wounds, and issues related to autism and Asperger syndrome.
She weaves those topics into plans for clearer communication and stronger coping skills. She brings 16 years of clinical experience in Utah to each session and explains things in plain language. Cassi listens for patterns that keep people stuck and offers small experiments to try between sessions.
These steps are meant to reduce overwhelm and increase confidence over time. Her style balances empathy with practical tools. Sessions often include role-play for communication, steps to manage compulsive thoughts, and techniques to reduce daily anxiety.
She works with each person to find what feels workable and realistic for their life.
Evidence-based methods and flexible online care
Many people find structured, evidence-based techniques helpful for anxiety and related concerns. Cognitive-behavioral style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and compulsive patterns. Exposure-based steps and graded practice help people face social fears, compulsions, and avoidance in manageable steps.Skills-based work emphasizes communication training, boundary setting, and self-compassion exercises. These techniques help with relationship strain, workplace stress, and building healthier daily routines. Cassi will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for role-play and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to get brief support, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy schedule. Licensed professionals can combine these formats to match what works best for each person.
