About Cassandra
Cassandra Fraser is an AASW social worker with seven years’ professional experience based in Australia. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through family conflict, address trauma and abuse, and navigate parenting challenges. Sessions are practical and focused on what to do differently between meetings.
Cassandra uses clear, structured methods that help people spot unhelpful thinking and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred techniques to break problems into manageable steps. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates trauma-focused approaches to support recovery without rushing the process.
People who come to her often want concrete tools for day-to-day life. Cassandra explains strategies, then practices them together in session so clients feel confident using them at home. Conversations are straightforward and aim to change patterns that keep problems repeating.
She also works with issues connected to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family arrangements, caregiver stress, fertility stress, and separation. Communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation are commonly addressed.
Cassandra structures sessions so there is time to review progress and plan small experiments between meetings. She uses short exercises, thought records, and behavioural experiments when helpful. People leave with clear next steps and a simple way to measure whether a strategy is helping.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Online sessions use structured, practical methods so people can try new thinking and behaviours between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to see what works. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on clear listening and reflecting so the client sets the pace and priorities. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on stabilisation, coping skills, and gradually addressing traumatic memories when the person feels ready.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cassandra will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is reviewed.
The site biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use exercises and worksheets during the session and quickly plan real-life experiments to try before the next appointment.
