About Cassandra

Cassandra Abel brings 12 years of clinical experience to her practice as a licensed clinical social worker. She focuses on building a calm, respectful space where people can speak openly about what feels heavy. Cassandra listens without judgment and helps clients find small, workable steps forward.

She uses an approach that honors mind, body, and spirit. Sessions often combine talk with mindfulness and movement ideas drawn from her background as a yoga teacher and Zumba instructor.

Background and approach

That means sessions can include grounding practices, breath work, or gentle movement suggestions when helpful. Cassandra helps people facing relationship strain, grief, stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction and process-related behaviors, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and identity questions including LGBT concerns.

Her work often attends to self-worth, career shifts, and finding life purpose. Her style is warm and curious. She centers a client’s values and pace, and tailors each session to practical goals that feel manageable.

Tools may come from mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, acceptance strategies, or explorations of meaning. People who work with Cassandra tend to leave sessions with clearer next steps and skills for handling stressors. Her aim is to help clients reconnect with what matters to them and build routines that support steady, meaningful change.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing practical strategies to change them. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s experience guides the work.

Choosing an approach is part of the process. Cassandra will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She often blends elements from different approaches so work remains practical and tailored rather than rigid.

Online therapy offers ways to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people see and talk through issues in real time, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, try short skills practice between appointments, and maintain momentum during life changes.
