About Cassandra

Cassandra Tordosinsky is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 13 years of experience. She invites people to bring their real-life concerns and talks plainly about what’s getting in the way. Cassandra focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and parenting challenges among other issues.

She takes a person-centered approach that starts with listening. Cassandra aims to create a space where people feel heard and understood, then helps them move toward practical changes.

Background and approach

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and what to change there. Sessions tend to be solution-focused and goal-oriented. Cassandra works with each person to identify strengths and build on them.

She avoids judgment and supports slow, steady progress that fits the client’s life. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, from trauma and substance use to relationship struggles, sleep and eating issues, and career or identity questions. She also offers support around adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, attachment concerns, and body image.

Cassandra runs a small independent practice alongside other work and uses both talk-based and skills-oriented tools. Her style blends empathy with concrete steps so people leave sessions with something to try. She welcomes conversations about goals and next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them, even while uncomfortable thoughts and feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep problems going. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating struggles. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and how they shape close connections, helping people name feelings and shift interaction patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose and adapt methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix listening, problem-solving, skill building, and reflective exercises based on what each person needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy days. These formats allow for flexible scheduling and ongoing check-ins between sessions. The variety of options helps people use the ways of communicating that feel most comfortable while still doing the therapeutic work.

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.

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.
