About Cassey

Cassey Simmons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Georgia. She draws on seven years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, addictions, and other life challenges. Her style is straightforward and caring, aimed at making conversations clear and useful.

She focuses on family and parenting concerns among other areas listed in her profile. She uses practical, evidence-informed techniques while keeping the conversation centered on each person’s goals.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what a person needs that week. Cassey values clear communication and aims to create a calm atmosphere where difficult topics can be talked through without judgment. Her background includes work in hospitals, community outreach, and human service agencies.

She has experience with trauma and crisis intervention and with people affected by poverty, discrimination, and other systemic stressors. This range of settings shaped her flexible approach to care. Cassey leans on Client-Centered Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep work grounded in what clients want to change.

She combines elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing informs her method for supporting change when motivation feels low. She identifies strongly with advocacy for self-love and emotional well-being.

Cassey encourages practical steps that fit everyday life and will discuss options for support if a crisis arises.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It emphasizes empathy and follows the client’s pace to build trust and clarity. This is useful for people who need a calm space to sort out parenting or family concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. In online sessions this can mean working on specific skills, doing brief exercises between meetings, and tracking small changes over time. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress related to work or family life.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods together. That collaborative planning helps make remote sessions feel focused and practical rather than vague.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving duties. They also let people choose the communication style that feels most useful for them while keeping progress steady over 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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
