About Cassia
Cassia Garcia-Knab is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people deal with relationship strain, grief, stress, and life transitions. She speaks English and Portuguese and brings 16 years of counseling experience to her sessions. Cassia aims to make the first steps toward therapy feel manageable and straightforward for people who are worried or unsure.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Cassia listens closely and works with each person to set small, achievable changes that fit daily life.
Her approach draws on client-centered work and structured skills from cognitive behavioral methods. She uses emotion regulation and mindfulness strategies informed by dialectical behavior ideas when they suit a client's needs. This mix helps with mood struggles, anxiety, codependency concerns, and challenges like sleep problems or caregiver stress.
Cassia has experience supporting people with ADHD, bipolar-related concerns, and issues that often follow loss or major change. She also addresses intimacy worries, parenting stress, career strain, and identity matters for LGBTQ people. Practical coping tools are combined with attention to how patterns in relationships affect wellbeing.
Clients who want straightforward guidance and a steady listening ear often find her style helpful. If someone prefers to work in Portuguese, she can offer sessions in that language as well. To begin, complete the site's matching steps and schedule according to therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Cassia uses client-centered work that focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. That means the therapist follows your lead, checks in about what matters most, and helps shape sessions around your priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, sleep problems, and many everyday struggles.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills alongside interpersonal strategies. These tools help when emotions feel intense or relationships are a source of repeated conflict.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Cassia will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That lets clients learn skills at a comfortable pace while keeping therapy focused on real-life changes.
