About Cassandra
Cassandra Hemphill is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, or trauma. Cassandra speaks English and practices from Texas.
She listens with a client-centered stance, meeting each person where they are and shaping sessions around practical needs. Cassandra uses somatic ideas to help clients notice how the body holds stress and trauma. She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help change unhelpful thinking patterns, and uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation.
Background and approach
Her background includes a graduate degree in Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio earned in 1998. Cassandra has worked across settings, including mental health treatment centers, non-profits, and middle and high school environments. Those experiences inform a straightforward, experience-based style in sessions.
In therapy clients can expect a blend of talking, body-centered awareness, and skill practice. The therapist helps people identify triggers, build coping skills, and reduce intense reactions over time. Sessions move at a pace set by the client and focus on practical steps toward feeling steadier.
For people concerned about mood, panic, attachment wounds, or family-related stress, Cassandra offers an approach that combines presence with concrete techniques. She supports people who want both emotional understanding and hands-on strategies for change.
How somatic care and skills work online
Somatic-informed work helps people notice physical sensations that link to stress and trauma, then use gentle body awareness and movement to reduce tension and reactivity. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and adapting sessions to each person's needs, so the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, comfort level, and responses in early sessions. That shared planning helps tailor sessions so techniques feel useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video and phone let people talk in depth, while live chat and messaging support brief check-ins and skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy or travel is difficult.
