About Cassandra

Cassandra Aamodt is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She uses an open, straightforward style to build a working connection and help clients make practical changes.

Cassandra draws on Client-Centered methods to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to support motivation and present-moment focus.

Her background includes three years as an LCSW in Connecticut. She has worked with people facing substance use concerns, grief, parenting challenges, identity and gender questions, and complex family patterns. Codependency and family of origin issues are among the topics she helps people address.

In sessions she is direct but caring, and she aims to walk alongside people as they learn about their patterns and options. Conversations tend to be practical and paced to each person’s needs. Cassandra helps clients try new ways of coping, communicate more clearly, and set boundaries.

People who reach out can expect clear feedback and collaborative planning. Cassandra invites honest talk about what is and isn’t working. She helps people set short-term goals and notice small changes that add up over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck and then test new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and collaboration so people feel heard and can explore their goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interactions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Cassandra works together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pacing and techniques as the work progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during evenings or weekends. Some formats may involve video, phone, or messaging; check what is available and choose what best fits your schedule and comfort.
