About Cassia
Cassia Garcia-Knab is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to help people facing everyday strains and longer-term challenges. She welcomes direct conversation about concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, and stress related to caregiving or work. Her style is straightforward and practical so people can start making small changes quickly.
She spends time listening first so she can understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on learning skills that change thinking and behavior, along with strategies to manage strong emotions. Cassia blends gentle support with clear, usable tools so clients can try things between sessions and track progress. With 16 years of experience across multiple settings, she draws on methods from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy.
Cassia uses those approaches to address insomnia, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions as well as more complex issues like bipolar symptoms and trauma reactions. She also supports people navigating sexual orientation and identity questions. Cassia holds LPC credentials in Texas and Connecticut and offers sessions in English and Portuguese.
She meets people through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, and she works with some international clients. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Her approach centers on small, practical steps and a collaborative plan.
People who want straightforward guidance and skills to manage daily life often find this approach helpful.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Cassia uses client-centered work to make sessions focused on each person's needs and values, creating space for people to talk and be heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep problems. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cassia collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays practical and relevant to what the client wants to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows a fuller conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while keeping treatment consistent.
