About Cassandra
Cassandra Hemphill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with anger, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and family-related concerns. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people manage strong emotions and improve daily functioning.
Cassandra uses a mix of talking therapies and skills-based work. She draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active.
Mindfulness practices are part of her toolbox for managing intense feelings and panic symptoms. Narrative therapy helps people make sense of difficult experiences such as trauma, abuse, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues. Cassandra also brings ideas from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and handling impulsivity.
Her background includes work in mental health treatment centers, non-profits, and middle and high school settings. She has experience with people who have been involved in the foster care system and with family problems that affect parents and individuals. Cassandra aims to make sessions clear and usable, with concrete steps to try between meetings.
People who want to reduce outbursts, ease workplace frustration, or manage resentment will find practical strategies and steady guidance. She guides clients through small, repeatable changes rather than promising quick fixes. The work focuses on realistic tools to help daily life feel more manageable.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping the client lead the conversation. Online sessions can still follow this approach by keeping the agenda focused on the person's current concerns and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Delivered remotely, CBT often includes homework and short skill practice between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for strong feelings and impulsivity. Those skills can be taught and practiced in video or phone sessions and reinforced with brief check-ins.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will help decide what approaches make the most sense based on the client's struggles, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The specific session formats for this therapist are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into the workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep a regular schedule. Others prefer longer blocks for deeper work. Talk with the therapist about timing and structure so sessions can fit into everyday life.
