Cassandra Gadouas, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Cassandra

Cassandra Gadouas is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She brings 25 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. Parents often find her practical and straightforward when addressing parenting concerns and family stress.

Her style is respectful and compassionate. She listens first and then tailors conversations and plans to fit each person. Sessions focus on real problems and clear steps people can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Cassandra uses several evidence-based approaches, chosen to match a person’s needs. She may draw on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, emotion-focused work to improve connections, or trauma-focused tools when past harm is getting in the way. She explains interventions in plain language so clients know what to expect.

In therapy she addresses a wide range of issues including intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include blended family issues, body image, codependency, and managing panic or mood symptoms. The aim is to build skills and restore balance in everyday life.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to people inside and outside the United States. Cassandra accepts video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when thoughts or feelings are uncomfortable. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises. It often helps with mood, panic, and sleep or eating difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that processes distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge; it can be used when past events continue to affect daily life.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will pick methods and adjust them over time to find the best fit.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to receive care. Video calls let therapists and clients work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good alternative when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, coaching-style support, and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
