About Cassandra
Cassandra Aamodt is a Connecticut LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with three years of practice as a licensed clinician. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Her background also includes work with LGBTQ concerns, substance use, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes.
Cassandra draws on straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. She uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a frequent tool to help people spot and shift unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness approaches are used when regulating strong emotions and building day-to-day coping skills feel important.
Her work includes attention to family and parenting matters, including blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, fatherhood issues, and family of origin concerns. Cassandra also addresses burnout and caregiver stress, codependency, and problems with communication that affect everyday life.
The practical focus is on clear steps clients can use between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is one method she uses when someone is weighing change, including substance use or other habit-focused goals. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented, not full of jargon.
She offers services in English and works with adults across a range of life stages. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details to find the best fit.
How sessions work
How Cassandra blends evidence-based methods for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person first. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, which helps shape goals and the pace of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal functioning, which can help when anger, self-esteem, or relationship issues are present.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The clinician and client review needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that seem likely to help. Adjustments are expected as work progresses, and the therapist checks in about what is useful and what might need to change.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in this profile. Clients may want options that fit into work or home life, for example shorter check-ins around a busy day or video when visual connection is important. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into an evening or weekend routine and can reduce travel time, helping therapy feel more doable alongside parenting and daily responsibilities.
