I care deeply about creating a space where clients feel safe, seen, and supported. I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and respect, and I believe that each person is the expert on their own life. My role is to walk alongside clients—listening without judgment, helping them explore what feels heavy or unclear, and supporting them as they move toward the life they want to create.
My approach is holistic, recognizing the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. I integrate traditional therapeutic practices with mindfulness and movement, drawing on my background as both a yoga teacher and Zumba instructor. This allows me to bring flexibility, creativity, and compassion into the healing process. Each session is tailored to the client’s needs and goals, honoring their pace and the values that guide them.
Clients often leave sessions with a greater sense of clarity, relief, and direction. Over time, they tend to build tools for navigating stress, grief, relationship challenges, and other life transitions with more resilience and confidence. My hope is that therapy helps clients reconnect with what truly matters, strengthen their sense of balance, and cultivate a life that feels more intentional and fulfilling.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Cassandra has been wonderful! She is easy to talk to and very professional.
Cassandra was amazing to work with. I came into therapy over four months ago really struggling with decades old trauma from childhood that had been impacting my life for a long time. She gave me such great care and compassion and was such a safe person for me to heal with. The tools, exercises and information she used in her work with me have been life changing. I highly recommend Cassandra as she is tops at her profession and is so good at what she does to give hope and a path forward to a better and more fulfilling life.
Cassandra Abel is a very caring and compassionate person. She listens to what I have to say, gives me suggestions on how to deal with certain issues, and seems to understand what I am going through. I am thankful I have her as my therapist.
I don't really know how to begin this, but Cassandra helped me out so much. I came to her after losing a friend to suicide. She helped me find ways to grieve in healthy ways, and understand why I was feeling certain feelings. She also helped me connect with my inner emotions on how to deal with stress, anxiety, depression, and even how manage unfortunate events with family. Cassandra is not only a great listener, but active helper. I can't thank Cassandra enough for helping me through my grieving journey.
Cassandra has been extremely helpful these past few weeks. Cassandra is a great listener and provides helpful feedback. Cassandra is very personable and I feel that it is easy to bring up any topic and not feel judged.
