About Cassie

Cassie Maxwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience offering practical help to parents and caregivers. She focuses on clear, down-to-earth support for people juggling stress, parenting challenges, grief, relationship strain, and mood concerns. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making the next steps feel manageable for families.

Cassie uses simple, collaborative methods that fit everyday life. She listens first, then works with each person to set small goals.

Background and approach

Sessions often include skills practice, problem-solving, and gentle exploration of difficult events. The goal is to reduce overwhelm and build coping tools that actually get used at home. Her experience includes supporting children, teens, and adults.

She helps with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, bipolar symptoms, sleep and eating issues, addictions, and parenting stress. She also offers care that attends to cultural differences and the unique pressures people face in their relationships and family roles. Cassie favors client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques.

Those tools are used to help people notice patterns, experiment with new behaviors, and make meaning of hard experiences. She adapts methods to fit a family's routine and values. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to accommodate busy schedules.

Cassie practices in Louisiana and conducts therapy in English. She does not take international clients and does not provide crisis services for actively emergent situations.

Approaches that translate to online family care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions clients learn practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person speaking and their goals. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people identify what matters most to them, which is useful when families need a calm space to talk through conflicts or life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment focus. These techniques can help with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation for both parents and children.

Cassie approaches online work collaboratively. She will discuss goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. Finding the right mix of tools is part of the process, and she invites clients to give feedback as they go.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, while phone, live chat, and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit therapy into a packed schedule. These options can reduce travel time and help therapy stay consistent during hectic seasons.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
