About Cassandra
Cassandra Hemphill helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or depression. She is an LPC with 17 years of experience and speaks plainly so parents can understand what to expect in a session. Cassandra focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier day to day.
Cassandra uses client-centered methods to create a respectful space where a person’s experience is heard. She blends that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions.
How Cassandra works
Mindfulness and narrative work are part of how she helps people make sense of painful events and patterns. Her career began after earning a graduate degree in Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 1998. Over the years she has worked in mental health treatment centers, nonprofit organizations, and in middle and high school settings.
That background informs her practical, real-world approach to problems like trauma, grief, and panic attacks. Cassandra offers ways to practice new skills between sessions. She often focuses on small changes that lead to clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and better sleep.
Discussions are guided by what each person needs in the moment. She has experience related to adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and domestic violence concerns. Her Texas licensure is LPC, and she conducts sessions in English for people located in Texas.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so a person can explore what matters most to them. In practice this looks like reflective conversation and gentle guidance aimed at helping someone find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms by teaching clear exercises to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which can help with anger, mood swings, and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cassandra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time based on how someone responds and what they want to achieve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes attending sessions more flexible for busy schedules. Video offers a face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing rather than speaking. These formats help people keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family obligations.
