More about Cassandra
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LPC, LMHC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults and their families. I spent 2 years of my career working at a Children's Advocacy Center, 7 years working in an Adolescent treatment facility, 6 years in private practice, and 2 years in a family counseling center. I have helped others with a wide range of challenges such as anxiety and depression, self-injurious behaviors, low self-esteem, co-dependency concerns, sexual trauma, as well as relationship concerns amongst couples and amongst family members. I have a Specialist in Education degree from Georgia State University and I am Licensed to practice in both Georgia and Florida.
When working with clients I use a blend of cognitive-behavioral approaches as well as reality therapy and humanistic approaches. You will find that I enjoy the creative processes as well and may encourage clients to engage in art therapy techniques in order to stimulate a different way of thinking about life's challenges. My goal for clients is for them to feel safe and to feel heard when they meet with me.
Clients are the experts on their life obstacles and I view myself as merely a witness to the client's strength and resourcefulness as they overcome these obstacles. It is my sincerest desire to simply be a guide on the route to wholeness.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Sandy is an amazing therapist. I love her calm demeanor. She listens and gets to the root of the issue quickly and gives helpful and realistic solutions.
I’ve been working with Cassandra for about 6 months now and I really feel like I have formed a bond with her. She offers me a safe and judgement-free space to share my thoughts, while helping me identify what I need to work on. Her words of wisdom and encouragement really help me through my rough times and help me embrace the good times as well. I’m so glad I was matched with her and will continue to work with her!
Great therapist that will give you insight on anything you want to know.
Couldn't recommend more!
Very kind and let's you talk and listens. Very chilled and friendly.
Cassandra Sams is a wonderful person who lends a keen ear for you to ‘lay it all out.’ I feel honored to have had her as my therapist and wish her and her patients all the success to behold.
Sandy is like talking to a friend. She offers a variety of ways to help you through your concerns. There is no pressure to share, but she welcomes it and let’s you lead. Has been extremely helpful for me in talking through personal issues.
Cassandra is great!
I have truly enjoyed my sessions with Cassandra. She Listens to me, has an open mind to find solutions and thinks of alternative points of view or new techniques I really like and enjoy trying. Especially with issues I didn’t think there were other possible solutions for. She’s empathetic while also being honest. We talk about marriage, life, career, kids, discipline, and she has great expertise and input on it all, Thank you ❤️
Sandy has been compassionate and so caring. I’m so glad to have met her, I’m sorry it had to be through therapy but she’s such a nice woman. It’s very clear that she is a well-educated professional, and I always appreciate her follow up.
Sandy has been very helpful and helping me resolve my issues. She is very nice, respectful and funny. Sometimes, she makes me laugh out loud. And that is definitely something I need. I highly recommend Sandy for anyone
