About Cassondra
Cassondra DeLuce Jankowski is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on families and parenting concerns. She speaks plainly and meets parents where they are. She aims to help families manage stress, parenting challenges, grief, and changes that come with growing children.
Cassondra works with concerns like anxiety, depression, eating and body-image issues, trauma, ADHD, and relationship and communication problems. She trained in social work, earning a Master of Social Work from The University of South Carolina.
Background and approach
Cassondra has worked in hospital settings with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. Her background includes providing care in higher level settings and outpatient programs for eating disorders and related concerns. Cassondra uses practical, evidence-based techniques drawn from well-known therapies.
She mixes methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to match the needs of the family or young person in front of her. She also draws on acceptance and commitment approaches and trauma-focused interventions when those are helpful. In sessions she emphasizes clear, direct skill-building.
Parents can expect help with communication, setting boundaries, and managing big emotions in children and teens. For young people she addresses anxiety, self-harm behaviors, crisis points, and behavioral regulation with concrete tools. Cassondra keeps the work collaborative.
She partners with families to set realistic goals and adjust strategies as things change. Her aim is to provide steady, practical support while families navigate difficult transitions.
How therapeutic methods translate to online family care
Many of the methods Cassondra uses focus on clear skills and practical changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which fits well into short exercises during video or phone sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that parents and teens can practice between sessions.She also draws on trauma-informed and acceptance-based techniques to help process difficult memories and reduce avoidance. These approaches aim to give families tools for everyday moments, such as handling meltdowns, managing eating or body-image concerns, or coping after loss. Picking the right mix of methods is collaborative; the therapist will work with each family to figure out what feels most useful and adjust the plan as goals change.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and live coaching during home interactions. Phone sessions can be a quieter option, while live chat and text messaging let families check in and practice skills between meetings. These flexible options help parents and young people access consistent support without long trips or schedule conflicts.
