About Cassandra
Cassandra Aamodt is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She uses a straightforward style and aims to build a working relationship that feels clear and honest. Cassandra responds to common struggles such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, and parenting concerns.
She also works with issues related to relationships, intimacy, self-esteem, career changes, and compassion fatigue. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person’s priorities guide the work.
Background and approach
Cassandra also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are offered when emotion regulation and present-moment coping are helpful. With three years of experience as an LCSW, she brings focused clinical practice in Connecticut.
Her background includes supporting people through trauma and abuse, LGBT and gender-related concerns, family problems, and the effects of adoption or foster care. She also addresses caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and fatherhood issues. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled around evening and weekend times.
Cassandra offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what feels most comfortable. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session based on availability. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented.
She works to help clients make small, doable changes and to build tools they can use between sessions.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps create a respectful, collaborative space where goals come from the client and pace is set together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms. DBT skills provide concrete tools for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when relationships or intense feelings are a challenge.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cassandra will talk with each person about their needs and goals and together they will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from home, while phone sessions remove visual pressure. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings and weekends and to use the tools learned in real time.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
