About Cassia
Cassia Garcia-Knab is an LPC with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by life changes, grief, or relationship and intimacy concerns. She speaks English and Portuguese and offers online sessions to reach people across Texas and beyond.
Cassia uses a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. She listens first and helps clients name what matters most. From there she offers clear tools to manage anger, sleep trouble, mood changes, or day-to-day stress.
How Cassia works
She also addresses concerns like ADHD, career strain, self-esteem, and parenting pressures. Her background includes work across different care settings, where she supported people coping with chronic illness, loss, and caregiving strain. That experience informs how she responds to complex feelings, attachment worries, and abandonment concerns.
She draws on a mix of practical strategies and person-focused listening to meet each situation. In practice Cassia blends approaches to fit each person. She uses client-centered methods to build trust, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and habits, and DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with tools people can use between meetings. Cassia’s approach is down-to-earth and goal focused. She helps people break bigger problems into manageable steps.
If someone wants a clear plan plus space to be heard, she offers that combination in session.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment, helping them feel heard and clear about their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that lead to anxiety, low mood, or sleep trouble. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cassia treats the choice of method as a collaboration and will help figure out what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She mixes these approaches when it makes sense so sessions stay practical and focused on progress.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have longer, face-to-face conversations when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent momentum between sessions.
