Cassandra Tordosinsky, LPC

Cassandra Tordosinsky is a licensed professional counselor with 13 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and life changes. She works from a straightforward, person-centered stance and aims to listen first. Many people come for a place to be heard and to sort out decisions without judgment.

She frames therapy around the client's goals and strengths. Sessions often focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Cassandra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That approach helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try different responses.

Her style is supportive and solution-focused. She asks questions, offers tools, and helps clients test small changes between sessions. She also draws from acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by the values they choose.

Clients bring many concerns, including depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Cassandra also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment, chronic illness, and career challenges.

Cassandra works with adults in Michigan and provides sessions in English. She runs a small practice and aims to create a respectful space where people can try new ways of coping. If someone wants practical help for everyday struggles, she offers a focused, down-to-earth approach.

Therapy with Cassandra is built around collaboration. She helps people weigh options, practice new skills, and track progress at a pace that fits their life.

How Cassandra blends evidence-based approaches for online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice how thoughts link to feelings and actions and then try different behaviors to reduce distress or improve functioning. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns tied to substance use.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to live with uncomfortable feelings. This approach can help with life transitions, chronic stress, and motivation.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the client's own problem-solving. That stance is used throughout sessions to make space for whatever someone brings and to guide collaborative planning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. This collaboration helps tailor tools and exercises to the individual's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can fit into a short break, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
