Cassandra Hemphill

Cassandra Hemphill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing eating and food-related concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She offers a calm, steady presence for parents and individuals who are worried and need clear support. Cassandra’s style aims to make hard conversations feel manageable and focused on practical steps forward.

She trained in counseling at the University of Texas at San Antonio and has practiced for 17 years. Her experience spans mental health treatment centers, nonprofit work, and school settings, giving her a range of approaches for different needs. That background informs how she tailors sessions to what each person brings.

Cassandra draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person’s perspective and build a trusting working relationship. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness techniques add tools for managing intense emotions and staying present.

Narrative Therapy is part of her approach when looking at the stories people tell about themselves and their bodies. Across sessions she helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and practice new skills between meetings. Her work is practical and grounded in everyday life.

People meet Cassandra when they need focused help with family problems, body image, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, or difficulties with attachment and abandonment. She supports parents coping with the strain of adoption, foster care, and communication challenges at home.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Cassandra often combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when working with people. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person’s experience and shaping sessions around their priorities, which helps build trust and clarity. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. DBT offers tools for handling intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on how the person responds. Working together helps match the approach to needs, whether the focus is on body image, panic, trauma, or day-to-day stress management.

Please confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use tools learned in session in the places they live their daily lives. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and homework so therapy connects to everyday routines.
