About Cassandra

Cassandra Hemphill is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, grief, and mood concerns. She has particular experience with trauma, family problems, and panic disorder and panic attacks. Cassandra writes in plain terms and aims to make therapy feel understandable and doable for worried parents and adults.

Cassandra earned her graduate degree in Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 1998 and holds the LPC credential. She has spent 17 years in the field, working across mental health treatment centers and non-profit agencies. Her background also includes time in middle and high school settings where she supported students.

Her style is rooted in client-centered work that values each person’s goals and pace. Cassandra mixes practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy with narrative and mindfulness approaches. Sessions usually involve talking through immediate worries, learning tools to manage strong feelings, and practicing changes that fit daily life.

She has experience with children and teens in the foster care system and has worked with families, which inform her approach to attachment, adoption, and family-related concerns. Cassandra also addresses issues like body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and anger in therapy.

People who want a straightforward, calm approach may find her helpful. She focuses on clear steps, common-sense skills, and steady support while people work through stress, trauma, and panic symptoms.

Approaches that fit online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and structured steps to reduce anxiety and help manage panic symptoms. This approach often includes practice between sessions to build new habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It includes techniques for grounding, breathing, and handling urges, which can be useful when panic or strong anxiety arises.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adjust methods as needed. Together they decide which techniques to emphasize and how quickly to move from skills practice to deeper exploration.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to continue care when attending in-person sessions is hard. Different session formats may work better for certain needs, so confirm current session options before booking. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins when time is limited, the ability to use audio-only if video is difficult, and easier access to tools and worksheets between meetings.
