About Cassandra
Cassandra Aamodt is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who aims to create a straightforward, down-to-earth space for people in distress. She emphasizes honest, direct communication and works to build a strong connection so conversations lead to practical change. Cassandra writes plainly and listens carefully to each person’s priorities before suggesting ways forward.
She draws on client-centered therapy to follow the client’s lead and build goals together. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are woven in when emotional regulation and stress tolerance are needed.
Cassandra has three years of experience as an LCSW in Connecticut and reports broader social work experience over a longer period. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, and work-related burnout such as compassion fatigue. She also lists adoption and foster care among her additional areas of focus.
In sessions she tends to be caring and nonjudgmental while remaining direct about next steps. People can expect clear suggestions, skill-building, and collaborative problem solving. Cassandra encourages questions and practical feedback about what is or isn’t helping.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist follows what matters most to the client, asks questions that clarify priorities, and helps set practical steps toward those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Choosing a method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and tailor the mix of approaches to match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation is part of the first sessions and can change over time as progress is made.
Confirm current online session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using skills in the places where life actually happens, so people can practice new strategies between meetings and bring those experiences back to sessions for review.
