How her approaches shape online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses clear tasks and practice between sessions to address anxiety, depression, and practical problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense feelings, reducing reactive behaviors, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what the client brings. It supports people by reflecting their concerns and working collaboratively on goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cassandra will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and then select techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process where methods may change as needs shift. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule around work or caregiving, and allowing shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s day. Ask about available session options when you complete the matching questionnaire.Sheet 3
