She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief and loss, depression, and life changes. Kassandra focuses on practical conversations that help people sort through painful feelings and next steps.
She uses a mix of approaches to fit the situation. Client-Centered Therapy guides conversations to reflect the person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck. Mindfulness techniques help people notice strong feelings without being overwhelmed.
Kassandra pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, and communication patterns affect daily life. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image worries, and transitions related to aging. Sessions often include short exercises and clear options to try between meetings.
Her work draws on narrative ideas too, helping people tell the story of what happened and consider different perspectives. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck about making a change; it helps surface personal reasons for taking a next step. The approach is collaborative and practical.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Kassandra commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations center on what the person wants to address and priorities they bring. CBT involves identifying thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce unhelpful cycles.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to practice noticing emotions and physical reactions in the moment. That can help when guilt or shame feel overwhelming and make it hard to think clearly. Each method is described plainly and practiced together so people can see what fits them.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed.
