About Cassandra
Cassandra Aamodt uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut.

She emphasizes practical tools and clear conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are mixed with mindfulness skills to help with mood, coping, and relationship challenges.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help with change around substance use or other habits. Cassandra draws on three years of professional experience in social work to offer calm, direct guidance. She works with concerns such as parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, addictions, and career stress.
Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care questions, attachment and family of origin issues, gender dysphoria, and aging and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Conversations aim to be practical and goal-minded, with space for emotions and story.
Cassandra helps people identify small, achievable steps and practices to try between sessions. She practices in Connecticut and conducts sessions in English. The LCSW credential is listed as CT LCSW 58.010861.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person and their goals first. The therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what matters most to the client, whether that is mood, relationships, or coping day to day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to shift mood and reactions; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cassandra will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then collaborate on which methods to try. That could mean using CBT exercises one week and mindfulness or DBT skills the next. The plan can change as progress and needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, homework follow-ups, or mood updates easier between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days while keeping the focus on consistent, goal-oriented work.
