Cassandra Sams, LMHC, LPC

Cassandra Sams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of clinical experience. She has worked in settings that include a children’s advocacy center, an adolescent treatment facility, private practice, and a family counseling center. Cassandra draws on long experience helping people who are worried about anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, grief, or trauma and abuse.

She focuses on clear, practical work. Sessions center on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Cassandra combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with client-centered conversation and may introduce creative activities like art tasks to help people see problems differently.

Her background includes many years supporting young people and caregivers. That history informs how she talks about family dynamics, codependency, self-esteem, and behavior concerns. She also helps with life transitions, career questions, and issues related to identity and relationships.

Cassandra aims to make sessions feel respectful and straightforward. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and acts as a guide while they build new coping skills. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

She holds a Specialist in Education degree from Georgia State University. She is licensed in Georgia and Florida and offers services in English. International clients are accepted, and scheduling is arranged after completing an intake questionnaire.

How these approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple homework to change patterns that keep people stuck, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person’s experience. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client’s pace so people feel heard and supported while they name goals and try new steps.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Cassandra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as problems change or progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a midday check-in without commuting or choosing shorter check-ins when time is tight. It can also allow people in different locations to connect with a licensed clinician. The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking to be sure they match your schedule and technical needs.
