About Cassandra
Cassandra Aamodt is a Connecticut LCSW with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and LGBTQ+ concerns among other issues. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at helping people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's goals and preferences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are part of her toolkit for addressing unhelpful thoughts and emotional regulation. Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing are added when useful to support coping and behavior change.
Cassandra has worked across settings with people facing substance use, parenting challenges, relationship strains, grief, and identity-related concerns. She often addresses family of origin issues, codependency, attachment questions, and life transitions. Her experience also includes supporting people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress.
In sessions she is straightforward and nonjudgmental. She favors video to build rapport but has used phone and text when people prefer them. Clients can expect clear feedback, practical strategies, and collaborative goal-setting rather than vague or abstract approaches.
Her practice includes work around self-esteem, anger, intimacy-related issues, and career or work-related stress. She also supports people coping with bipolar symptoms, addictions, and compassion fatigue. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details to make sure they match your needs.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and preferences, with the therapist listening and adjusting support based on what matters most to the client. This approach helps people who want a collaborative, person-driven process.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete tools to change patterns that cause distress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for regulating emotions and managing intense reactions. It is useful when strong emotions make daily functioning harder and when people want clear skills to practice between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit best based on each person's goals, challenges, and preferences, and adjustments are made as needed. This collaborative process helps identify what feels most helpful in week-to-week sessions.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking. The therapist has used video and has previously offered phone and text when clients preferred those options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time, all of which help make regular sessions more practical.
