Cassandra Sams, LMHC, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Cassandra

Cassandra Sams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with 23 years of experience. She practices in Georgia and holds licensure in both Georgia and Florida. Her work centers on helping families and parents navigate stress, parenting challenges, grief, anxiety, and mood concerns.

She has years of experience in settings that focused on children, adolescents, and family work, including a children's advocacy center and an adolescent treatment facility.

Background and approach

That background shaped a practical, hands-on style with families. She also spent time in independent practice and a family counseling center, which added more depth to her approach. Her style combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. She often encourages creative activities, such as art-based exercises, when they help a family or young person see difficulties differently. Cassandra treats a wide range of concerns.

These include anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, and adjusting to life changes. She also works with young adult challenges, women's issues, and LGBTQ concerns. She emphasizes collaboration.

Parents and young people are invited to share what works for them while she offers skills, strategies, and planning. The aim is to help families find clearer paths forward and build on strengths. Her training includes a Specialist in Education degree from Georgia State University.

She holds the credentials LMHC and LPC and is licensed in Georgia as FL LMHC MH8571 and in Georgia as GA LPC LPC004158.

Approaches that guide online family and parenting work

The client-centered approach focuses on listening and understanding. It asks the therapist to follow the client’s lead and create a supportive space where parents and young people can speak openly. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a clear place to start talking about hard issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, stress, and practical parenting challenges because it offers steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then blend approaches as needed. Clients and caregivers are invited to give feedback so methods can be adjusted over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let families connect from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and choose the format that feels easiest for them. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and try creative exercises during or between contacts.

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.
