About Cassandra
Cassandra Duff is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She brings 19 years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions. Cassandra approaches each person with respect and a calm, straightforward manner.
She uses Client-Centered methods to make sessions collaborative and focused on what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps break unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping skills.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. Cassandra works with people on a wide range of concerns including relationships, anger, depression, addictions, intimacy-related issues, career challenges, and ADHD. She also supports those coping with caregiver stress, commitment worries, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Cassandra pays attention to multicultural concerns, prejudice, and discrimination when they affect daily life. Sessions emphasize clear goals and simple strategies to try between meetings. Conversations are tailored to each person, so progress looks different depending on needs and pace.
Cassandra offers a direct but compassionate style that aims to make therapy practical and usable. People who want coaching around career or life changes can also find structured support. Her approach is to listen first, then build a plan together that fits daily routines and real responsibilities.

Cassandra discusses goals and options with each person and adjusts methods based on what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill practice, emotion regulation, coaching, or a mix of techniques tailored to daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions are good for visual connection and deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or brief coaching between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
