Cassie Holmes, LPC

Cassie Holmes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on practical, evidence-informed approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy. She uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help people manage worry, low mood, and life transitions. Her style is warm and collaborative so people feel heard while they try new ways of coping.

Cassie earned a master’s degree in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma and has six years of clinical experience. That work included inpatient and outpatient settings where she supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and family-of-origin concerns. She draws on several therapy methods rather than a single fixed protocol.

In sessions she balances skill-building with reflective conversation. People learn practical strategies for reducing anxious thoughts and improving day-to-day routines. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and narrative techniques to reframe difficult experiences.

Cassie pays attention to social and cultural influences like prejudice and discrimination. She addresses issues such as parenting stress, caregiver strain, substance use, and recovery from sexual assault and domestic violence. Sessions aim to strengthen self-esteem, self-compassion, and coping after adverse events.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration - the person sets goals and she helps track progress. Work together may include short-term problem solving or longer-term support for deeper change. The focus is on usable tools people can apply between sessions.

How CBT and ACT shape online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. In a few sessions clients learn practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, or compulsive habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and moving toward what matters despite difficult feelings. It helps people reduce avoidance and build a life that fits their priorities.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to set goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. That might mean starting with short-term skill work and then adding narrative or motivational techniques if deeper change is needed.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can fit therapy into their day. Video is useful for longer sessions and skill practice, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text can be a quick way to check in or handle brief coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and follow through on goals.
