About Cassandra
Cassandra Sams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of experience. She practices in Georgia and also holds a Florida license. Cassandra has spent years supporting people through common life storms like anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting stress.
Her background includes work in adolescent treatment, a children’s advocacy center, independent practice, and a family counseling center. That range gave her experience with mood disorders, self-injury, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns.
Background and approach
Over time she has also helped people facing career shifts, midlife questions, and issues around identity such as LGBT concerns. Cassandra blends client-centered listening with methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and clearer ways to notice unhelpful thoughts.
She may also invite creative activities like art-based exercises to open new perspectives. Her style is straightforward and respectful. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and positions herself as a guide.
Many clients seek support for parenting challenges, coping with life changes, or rebuilding self-love. Cassandra offers work in English and accepts international clients. Session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Getting started requires a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to fit mutual availability.

How client-centered and CBT approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and following the client's priorities. The therapist provides empathy and reflections so people can clarify their own goals and feel heard. This style is often helpful for parenting stress, grief, or when someone needs a steady, respectful space to talk.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain problems and teaches practical skills to change them. It often includes homework and clear strategies to manage anxiety, mood challenges, or unhelpful thought patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether a client-centered stance, CBT techniques, or a mix is best, based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps with brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and travel while keeping continuity of care with licensed professionals.
