Cadie Millard, LPCC

Cadie Millard is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. She brings seven years of clinical practice and a broader decade of social service work to her sessions. Cadie aims to help people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and big life changes with steady support and clear steps.

Her approach is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical tools people can use between meetings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches to address how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact.

Cadie has experience supporting people after trauma and abuse, and she works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, social anxiety, and postpartum depression. She also helps with career transitions, relationship stresses, and problems like codependency or hoarding. Her background includes work in social services and counseling for young adults and caregivers.

In the first meetings she listens closely and builds a clear plan with each person. That plan may include thought-challenging exercises, mindfulness practices, and goal-setting strategies. Sessions are paced to fit individual needs and daily life demands.

Cadie frames therapy as a partnership. She encourages questions and adjusts methods to match each person's goals. Her aim is to help people build skills that improve day-to-day functioning and long-term resilience.

How Cadie Uses Approaches Online

Cadie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist follows their concerns.

She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily tension, then practice calming responses. These approaches are explained and tried together so the person can see what fits best. Finding the right approach is part of the work; Cadie collaborates with each person to set goals and choose methods that match their needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, journaling between sessions, or for people who prefer typed communication. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic techniques as in-person work.
