About Cassandra
Cassandra Aamodt is a Connecticut LCSW with three years of experience as a clinical social worker. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship concerns, and issues related to LGBTQ identity. Cassandra also addresses parenting strain, grief, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
She uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. Cassandra works in a client-centered way, combining cognitive behavioral techniques and DBT skills when needed. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her approach to help people notice patterns and try new strategies.
In practical terms she helps people who keep putting others first, who struggle to set boundaries, or who live around someone else's drinking or crises. She talks through what is getting in the way of clearer communication, steadier mood, and healthier limits. Work can include short skill-building exercises and looking at ongoing behavior patterns.
Cassandra draws on previous work with depression, anxiety, substance use, and parenting stress to inform sessions. She is direct and honest in her style and aims to be nonjudgmental while offering concrete feedback and tools.
Sessions often focus on small, doable changes - breathing and grounding, cognitive reframes, or tracking reactions in difficult moments. People can expect to practice new responses and reflect on what helps in their everyday life.
She provides care in English from Connecticut and does not take international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling through the platform's matching flow.
How sessions work
How Cassandra’s approaches translate to online work
Cassandra blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work means the conversation focuses on the person’s goals and experiences. CBT involves noticing thoughts and trying practical changes to reduce distress. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as people try strategies and report what helps.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking through the platform's matching tools. The practical benefits of online care include fitting sessions around work or parenting schedules, choosing shorter check-ins when needed, and using video or phone in ways that make it easier to attend. Therapists can teach breathing and grounding exercises, guide brief skill practice during a call, and review homework or tracking tools between sessions. These elements help integrate what is learned into everyday life.
