About Cassandra

Cassandra Duff is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who draws on nearly two decades of clinical experience to support people facing a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She centers her work on respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's specific circumstances. Cassandra helps clients manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and intimacy concerns, address anger and depression, and explore issues related to addiction, career changes, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Her approach blends client-centered care with evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), so practical skills and personal values can be integrated into everyday life. Cassandra also addresses caregiving stress, commitment and family problems, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, multicultural concerns, and related struggles like obsessions, compulsions, and financial stress.

She works in English and offers several online session formats to increase access for people in New York and beyond, and she frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on realistic goals and steady progress.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care



Cassandra uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where a person's priorities guide the work; this approach helps people clarify values and feel heard as they explore change. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and learning concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or address compulsive habits. Each method aims to translate insights into everyday practices that address stress, relationships, ADHD-related challenges, and other concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life context to decide which combination of strategies fits best, and adjustments are made as progress and needs evolve. Clients are invited to provide feedback so the plan matches their rhythm and objectives.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or busy schedules. These options support consistent contact and make it possible to practice skills between meetings, while allowing licensed professionals to provide ongoing guidance from different locations.
