About Cassandra
Cassandra Tordosinsky is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, stress, addiction, depression, and other life challenges. She practices in Michigan and aims to offer a calm, nonjudgmental space for people who need someone to listen. Cassandra frames therapy as a practical partnership where clients set the pace and goals.
Her style is person-centered, so sessions focus on the client's needs and strengths.
Background and approach
She listens, reflects, and helps people find solutions that fit their life. Cassandra also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and to try new ways of responding. Clients who come for help with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, or career stress can expect straightforward conversation and tools to manage day-to-day problems.
She also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, body image, and compassion fatigue. The work is practical and goal-oriented, not purely theoretical. Cassandra supports people across a wide range of concerns, including phobias and coping with major life changes.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when appropriate to focus on values, emotional regulation, and building better coping skills. Outside of sessions she runs a small independent practice called Authentic Living Counseling. She encourages people to reach out when they are ready to explore change, make a plan, and practice new habits in daily life.
How therapy approaches work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include practical exercises and homework to try between meetings, which can help with anxiety, phobias, and depression.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and learning to act toward what matters despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Used online, ACT can guide short exercises and value-based goals that fit into everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cassandra will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people continue therapy around daily life.
