About Cassandra
Cassandra Gadouas is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She also supports people coping with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Her approach is grounded in respect and compassion for each person she meets.
She keeps conversations practical and focused. Sessions aim to identify specific patterns that cause distress and to learn clear steps to change them.
Background and approach
Cassandra adapts the tone and pace to match each person’s needs, and she works with clients to set realistic, achievable goals. Cassandra draws on multiple well-known therapeutic approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also works with acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and commit to small, useful actions. For people processing trauma or painful memories, she incorporates emotion-focused tools and EMDR-informed strategies when appropriate. These methods are used carefully and at a pace the client is comfortable with.
Clients can expect a collaborative relationship. Cassandra listens, offers practical skills, and adjusts plans as progress unfolds. She emphasizes clear communication and regular check-ins about what is or isn’t helping.
Her practice also supports concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and career transitions. Cassandra accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Using proven approaches in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, value-driven actions even when feelings are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on the emotional bonds that shape relationships and can help people improve communication and connection.Choosing an approach is a team effort. Cassandra will talk with each client about goals, past experiences with therapy, and what feels most useful. From that conversation she will recommend one or a mix of methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever the client is, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can offer brief check-ins or flexible contact between longer sessions. These options give more ways to keep steady momentum while working toward change.
