Cassey Simmons, LCSW, CSW

Cassey Simmons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions. She brings a direct, compassionate style that aims to make therapy approachable and practical for everyday problems.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) ideas to help clients connect thoughts and behaviors, and she uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to build on a person’s strengths. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit when someone needs support making changes. Sessions focus on clear steps, real-world strategies, and steady support rather than jargon.

Over seven years Cassey has worked in human service agencies, hospitals, and community outreach settings. Much of her work involved crisis intervention and support for people facing trauma, discrimination, poverty, and caregiving strain. Her background includes experience with aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and traumatic brain injury issues among other challenges.

She emphasizes practical communication and decision-making skills. Cassey encourages self-love, emotional wellbeing, and small habit changes that add up over time. Her approach is respectful of culture and identity and she aims to offer an accepting space for diverse life experiences.

People who choose her can expect collaborative sessions that break problems into workable parts. She helps identify goals, try concrete techniques, and track progress so therapy feels useful and focused.

How Cassey blends practical approaches for online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when concrete strategies are needed. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building on what the person already knows. That approach helps people feel heard and guides the pace of change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Cassey works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Together they set small goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan if something isn’t working.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into real life. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a written back-and-forth, and messaging is handy for short check-ins or ongoing support. These options add flexibility so people can maintain momentum while juggling work, caregiving, or other commitments.
