More about Cassandra

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting young adults through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping individuals navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to addressing issues including self-love, communication barriers, isolation, body image concerns, and sexuality.

My therapeutic work focuses on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop stronger, more authentic connections with themselves and others. I'm particularly passionate about empowering individuals to overcome shame, build self-compassion, and develop healthier relationship patterns.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively with clients to identify their unique strengths and develop personalized strategies for emotional wellness. My approach is affirming, non-judgmental, and deeply committed to honoring each person's individual journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
