About Cassandra
Cassandra Rhodes is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, depression, parenting challenges, and related life changes. Her style is direct and conversational, aimed at making progress feel possible even when days are heavy.
She trained in psychology and community counseling at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and holds a License in Professional Counseling - LPC.
Background and approach
Over more than a decade in practice she has worked with people facing trauma and abuse and those coping with compassion fatigue from caring roles. Cassandra emphasizes clear, practical steps alongside emotional support. Her main clinical approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, used with attention to trauma.
She helps clients notice how thoughts shape feelings and actions, then tests small changes to reduce worry and improve routines. Sessions emphasize skills that can be tried between meetings so progress carries into everyday life. In conversations she aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about what is hard.
Cassandra says trauma can take many forms and every person’s story matters. She invites clients to set goals together and to move at a pace that feels manageable. Practical matters are kept straightforward.
Cassandra offers sessions by video, phone, chat, or text messaging and works with each person to find what fits their schedule. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How CBT and trauma-informed care work online
CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Online sessions use the same step-by-step tools as in-person work, such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and goal-setting to track change over time.Trauma-informed care means the therapist pays attention to how past or recent traumatic events affect thinking and behavior. In practice this involves gentle pacing, grounding techniques, and choosing skills that feel manageable so emotional reactions become easier to predict and handle.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cassandra will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, and together they will decide whether CBT, trauma-focused strategies, or a mix of methods makes the most sense. That plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different life demands. Video calls let people read visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a quick break. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, homework review, or to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing parenting and other responsibilities.
