Cassandra Aamodt

Cassandra Aamodt is an LCSW who uses a client-centered way of working. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by listening first and then building practical steps together. She is based in Connecticut and offers care in English.

Cassandra draws on several approaches to meet everyday needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thought and try small behavior changes. She also brings dialectical behavior ideas for emotional coping and mindfulness practices to calm the body and mind.

Her background includes three years of work as an LCSW alongside longer social work experience in community settings. That mix has led her to support people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and substance concerns. She also helps with relationship and parenting challenges and issues related to LGBT identity and gender dysphoria.

Clients work on specific goals such as managing anger, building self-esteem, coping with life changes, or addressing codependency and communication problems. Sessions often focus on clear, simple skills you can use between meetings. Cassandra aims to be straightforward and nonjudgmental while you try new ways of coping.

If someone is thinking about starting, she guides them through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling steps. The process is meant to make it easier to connect with a therapist who fits the person’s needs and preferences.

Approaches and how online therapy can fit your life

Cassandra uses client-centered work that starts with listening to what matters to you. That approach focuses on your goals and your pace, and it helps shape what comes next in counseling.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches small experiments to change them. Dialectical behavior therapy tools are used to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense feelings like anger or panic.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cassandra will work with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into busy lives - it can reduce travel time, allow evening or weekend appointments, and make shorter check-ins possible when schedules are tight. It can also mean choosing a session style that fits how you communicate, such as speaking by phone, using video, or messaging, depending on what the therapist offers and what works best for you.
