About Cassandra
Cassandra Hemphill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, family concerns, and anger. She also names abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, body image, communication problems, domestic violence, and related struggles among her focus areas.
Cassandra trained at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where she completed a graduate degree in counseling. Her work history includes mental health treatment centers and nonprofit settings. She has also worked in middle and high schools and has experience with children and teens in the foster care system, and with family-related issues.
In sessions she centers the person's experience and uses several practical methods. She draws from client-centered work to prioritize the person's goals. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to notice patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress.
She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to help ground strong feelings. Narrative approaches are used to look at life stories and how those stories shape current difficulties. Cassandra combines these methods to offer straightforward skills and time to talk.
People who come for help can expect focused conversations about problems at home, relationship stress, and the aftereffects of trauma. She works with adults seeking to understand or reduce symptoms and to improve how they cope with family and parenting strains.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities, offering listening and reflection so the person can clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds practical strategies for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions.Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and preferences together and adjust the approach as those needs change. This collaborative process helps match practical tools to everyday problems at home and in relationships.
The therapist's profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, turn a lunch break into a brief check-in, or avoid travel time. Sessions can also allow use of mindfulness exercises or thought-record worksheets during the appointment. Ask about available formats when scheduling so sessions match your routine and technical setup.
