About Kassandra
Kassandra Freeman is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of professional experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief and loss, depression, and big life changes. She works with individuals who want practical ways to manage upsetting thoughts and get steadier day-to-day routines.
Her approach emphasizes clear conversation and collaborative planning. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes. She also draws on client-centered methods to ensure sessions stay focused on each person's concerns and pace.
Kassandra integrates mindfulness practices to build simple routines for noticing stress and reducing reactivity. Narrative therapy tools are used to separate a person from their problems and to rewrite painful stories in more useful ways. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making changes.
She practices in Illinois and brings ten years of hands-on experience from clinical settings. Sessions focus on practical skills, repeated practice, and short-term goals when that fits the person's needs. She aims to help people leave sessions with at least one concrete step to try.
People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation about goals and barriers. Kassandra encourages honest feedback about what is and isn’t working. If a different method seems more useful, she discusses options and adjusts the plan together.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in thinking and test small behavior changes that reduce stress and anxiety. CBT sessions often focus on concrete skills and short practice assignments that can be reviewed each week.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep discussions focused on what matters most to the person. That approach emphasizes listening and working at a pace set by the client. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach brief attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and support mood regulation in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps. Collaboration is central: choices about methods and homework are made together.
