Cassia Garcia-Knab , LPC

Cassia Garcia-Knab is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem, career shifts, ADHD, and the day-to-day strain of life changes. She also supports clients facing anger, compassion fatigue, sleeping problems, and issues related to bipolar disorder and chronic illness.

Cassia uses plain talk and steady listening to make difficult subjects easier to name. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on practical steps to get there. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build trust.

She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when stronger emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed. Together these approaches are adapted to each person's pace and goals.

Cassia is licensed as an LPC in Texas and Connecticut and works with English and Portuguese speakers. Many people choose her for support around family conflict, divorce or separation issues, abandonment wounds, body image, and blended family challenges. She also offers coaching-style help for career and life transitions.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She encourages small experiments between sessions, checks in about what helps, and adjusts plans when needed. People who want practical tools and an empathic listener often find this approach useful.

How approaches and online sessions work together

Cassia uses Client-Centered Therapy to build understanding by following the client's lead and reflecting what matters most to them. This approach helps people feel heard and makes it easier to identify personal goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and reorganizing how day-to-day challenges are handled.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when stronger emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness strategies are needed. These practical skills can help during high-stress moments and improve communication over time.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what the client finds most helpful. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to individual needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports brief reflections or coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
