About Cassandra
Cassandra Walker is an Ohio LPCC with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after changes at work, in relationships, or with their health, particularly around stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.
She began her career supporting people with chemical dependency and then expanded to broader mental health concerns. That background means she often combines practical coping skills with straightforward conversation about motivation and behaviors. Sessions typically focus on what is happening now and what small steps feel doable next.
Cassandra uses a mix of approaches to match the person and the problem. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and create committed action. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed.
People meet a therapist who listens, checks assumptions, and suggests simple practice tasks between sessions. Cassandra leans on collaborative goal-setting and skill practice rather than lengthy theory discussions. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what changes and what still needs work.
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, body image, autism and Asperger Syndrome, dissociation, and several personality-related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and follow Ohio practice rules.
How Cassandra uses evidence-based approaches online
Cassandra commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify personal values and take small, consistent actions toward those priorities. ACT can be useful for people who feel stuck because it emphasizes what matters over getting every thought to change.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain stress or low mood. CBT involves testing thoughts, shifting behaviors, and practicing new responses between sessions. Mindfulness and DBT-informed skills are integrated when clients need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cassandra treats therapeutic style as a collaborative choice and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made and problems shift.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Practical considerations like quieter surroundings, being off camera on some days, or using audio-only for a brief session can help sessions fit everyday life.
