Cassia Garcia-Knab

Cassia Garcia-Knab is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and challenges related to attention and mood. Sessions are intended to be a place to speak openly and be heard without fear of judgment.

Cassia approaches care in a straightforward way. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. She uses practical techniques drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and cope better day to day.

Her background includes work across multiple states and varied clinical settings. That experience informs an adaptable style that aims to meet people where they are. She helps clients sort priorities, build skills for handling strong emotions, and practice small changes that add up over time.

Cassia works with concerns common to family life, parenting stress, caregiving burden, and long-term health issues. She also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, sexual orientation and gender identity issues, bipolar disorder, and the effects of chronic pain or disability. She uses plain language and concrete exercises so therapy feels useful between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese. International clients are accepted. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client's availability.

How her approaches guide online work

Cassia often draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and shaping the work around what matters to the client. This approach helps people feel understood and involved in setting goals.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Dialectical behavior therapy tools are used when strong emotions or intense relationship patterns get in the way. DBT techniques teach skills for managing emotion, improving communication, and tolerating distress without acting impulsively.

Finding the right approach is often a bit of trial and error. Cassia treats this as a collaboration where client preferences, goals, and daily life shape the plan. She will suggest strategies and check in regularly to see what works and what should change.

Practical online therapy benefits include fitting sessions into a busy week and allowing more flexible scheduling. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to keep momentum between appointments and to practice new skills in real time.
