About Cassandra
Cassandra Tordosinsky is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 13 years of clinical experience. She approaches counseling as a collaborative process and aims to listen, validate, and help people find practical ways forward. Cassandra works with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and a wide range of life stressors. She also supports concerns like parenting strain, relationship difficulties, career questions, grief, and ADHD.
Cassandra favors a person-centered style that centers the client's goals and strengths. She uses a solution-focused lens to help people identify steps that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her toolkit to map how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and to test new ways of responding. She draws on skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful for emotion regulation and values-based action.
Sessions typically aim to give clients a place to be heard without judgment. Cassandra helps people weigh options and practice new strategies between meetings. She also offers coaching-style support for practical problem solving and life transitions.
As a small business owner, Cassandra sees clients through her private practice, Authentic Living Counseling. Her approach is straightforward and down-to-earth, focusing on real steps people can use right away. She encourages people to move toward the life they want at a pace that feels manageable.
Cassandra lists money and financial issues among the concerns she addresses, and she integrates financial stress into treatment when it impacts mood or decision making. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule according to available times.
How Cassandra Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Cassandra often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical exercises to test new thinking patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and many daily stressors.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people notice what matters to them and take value-driven actions even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be useful for change during big life shifts and when motivation feels low.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cassandra will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend strategies together. That collaborative process helps shape which methods are emphasized in sessions.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, avoiding travel time, and making shorter check-ins possible on busy days. The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking to learn whether remote meetings are offered.
