About Cassandra
Cassandra Hemphill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience helping families and parents navigate stressful times. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, anger, and family problems. Cassandra speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps parents can take now.
Her style is steady and direct, aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving communication at home. She trained in counseling at the University of Texas at San Antonio and has worked in mental health centers, nonprofit programs, and in middle and high schools.
Background and approach
That mix of settings shaped her approach to everyday family challenges. Cassandra has experience with children and teens in foster care and with supporting families through adoption and attachment concerns. In sessions she uses approaches like Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person.
She also pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions. Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy are part of her toolbox when helpful. Cassandra aims to make sessions practical and relevant to family life.
She helps parents set clear limits, improve day-to-day routines, and practice calmer responses to conflict. She also works with teens on coping skills, mood management, and building safer relationships. Her work is based in Texas and conducted in English.
Parents who want straightforward strategies and steady support often find her approach useful.
How therapy methods translate to online family support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the family. In this approach the therapist reflects back concerns, helps parents name priorities, and supports each person in finding their own solutions. It is useful when families need someone to guide the conversation without steering it too quickly.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions teach concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and to build new routines. This approach often helps with anxiety, panic, low mood, and parenting stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cassandra works collaboratively to decide which methods fit each family’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will try a path, check how it’s going, and adjust the plan with the family.
Online formats offer real flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters most. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into the day or to follow up between sessions. These options help parents and teens keep consistent work on skills even with packed schedules.
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.
