About Cassandra
Cassandra Tordosinsky is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people work through anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, parenting stress, and life transitions. Cassandra aims to be a calm, steady presence for someone who needs to be heard and respected.
Cassandra uses a person-centered style that keeps the client in charge of solutions. She listens without judgment and helps people identify strengths they can use right away.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical problem solving so clients leave with clear steps to try between meetings. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That approach is useful for addressing worry, low mood, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Cassandra blends this with acceptance-based ideas to help people handle strong emotions while moving toward meaningful goals. Clients come for many concerns including stress, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, ADHD, and career or self-esteem struggles. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image, and adoption-related questions.
The work is practical and focused on what matters most to each person. Cassandra runs a small independent practice and works with people who want straightforward, empathetic support. She welcomes conversations about goals and will help create a plan that fits each person's life and schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
A key part of Cassandra's work is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing how thoughts influence feelings and actions and then practicing new ways of thinking and behaving. This approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that affect daily functioning.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult emotions and still move toward what matters to them. ACT is often useful for stress, chronic struggles, and parenting challenges where emotions can feel overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cassandra will discuss your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as you learn what works best. That way the therapy stays practical and tied to the changes you want to make.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, journaling-style exchanges, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still using CBT and ACT tools effectively.
