About Cassandra
Cassandra Hemphill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, family issues, and anger. Cassandra also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment, body image, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress.
She uses straightforward talk and practical skills in sessions. Cassandra draws on client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different ways of reacting.
Cassandra has a background across several settings. Her graduate degree in counseling came from the University of Texas at San Antonio. She has worked in mental health treatment centers, nonprofit organizations, and in middle and high school settings.
Her experience includes working with children and teens in the foster care system and supporting people around family problems. This has shaped how she approaches attachment and adoption-related concerns, and how she talks about safety and boundaries.
Sessions tend to mix talking, practical exercises, and simple mindfulness or grounding practices when helpful. Cassandra uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and narrative approaches to help people name patterns and make small, manageable changes. She often focuses on clear skills people can try between appointments.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies concerns, and helps organize what to work on next. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking. That approach is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with impulsivity and strong emotional reactions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on problems, goals, and everyday demands. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so strategies can be adjusted over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that focus on brief skill practice. It can also reduce the need to arrange childcare or take longer breaks from work. When you review session options, look for the formats that match your schedule and comfort with things like video or phone conversations.
