How her approaches fit into online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy are practical ways she works with people. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building skills to change behavior, which can help with anxiety and panic. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, useful for life changes and chronic stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected while the person leads the pace and topics of sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cassandra will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts methods over time and checks in to see what is helping and what needs to change.
