About Cassandra
Cassandra Tordosinsky is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with 13 years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She emphasizes listening first and giving clients space to be heard. Many come for anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, or major life changes.
Others seek support for issues like ADHD, relationship struggles, body image, or career concerns. Cassandra practices in a person-centered way. That means she follows each person's pace and helps them find solutions that fit their life.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. This makes patterns clearer and gives concrete steps to try. In sessions she mixes practical problem-solving with emotional support.
She will help identify strengths and small changes that add up. For people dealing with trauma or compassion fatigue, she brings steady attention and a focus on coping skills. Cassandra works with a wide range of concerns including stress, addictions, bipolar, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and intimacy issues.
She also supports people facing adoption or foster care questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or cancer-related challenges. The goal is practical progress rather than labels. Her practice balances coaching-style work and clinical approaches when needed.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, collaborative planning, and goals set around what matters most to them. Cassandra aims to be a consistent ally while clients build the skills they want to keep.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, or when decisions feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating issues.Choosing an approach is a shared process. Cassandra will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. She often blends person-centered listening with CBT or ACT so therapy matches what a client needs that week.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different days and needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face when they want deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when a shorter exchange fits a busy schedule.
These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, caregiving, or school schedules while keeping focus on progress and usable skills.
