About Cassandra
Cassandra Rhodes helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 14 years of clinical work. Her style is straightforward and focused on changing thought patterns that keep people stuck.
Cassandra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, taught through a trauma-informed lens. She explains how thoughts shape feelings and actions, and then she teaches practical skills to shift those patterns.
How Cassandra works
Sessions are conversational and aimed at small, doable changes rather than long lectures. She has experience addressing parenting concerns, grief, relationship strain, substance-related issues, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she encourages honest sharing and aims to make the space feel nonjudgmental.
The goal is to build tools clients can use between meetings. Cassandra earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in community counseling from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. She completed the requirements to hold a Pennsylvania LPC and has kept that license through ongoing practice.
People can expect clear explanations of how thoughts affect mood and behavior, together with step-by-step practice. Cassandra values steady progress and will work at a pace that fits each person’s needs. She emphasizes practical strategies that help people cope with life changes and reduce symptoms over time.

How CBT and Online Sessions Work Together
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts that lead to distress. Sessions involve noticing thought patterns, testing them with real-life experiments, and practicing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.Applied from a trauma-informed perspective, this approach recognizes that painful experiences affect thinking and behavior. The therapist pays attention to those experiences and adapts CBT techniques so people feel understood and are not pushed too fast.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust strategies as needed. Clients and the therapist will check in regularly to see what helps and what needs to change.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues when those matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and follow up without scheduling a full appointment. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use the techniques learned in real time.
