Cassandra Waudby, LMHC

Cassandra Waudby is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and life changes. She supports clients dealing with depression, substance-related concerns, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. Cassandra aims to help people feel more confident and in control of their choices.

In sessions she uses practical, down-to-earth conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She draws on client-centered methods to follow a person’s lead, cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior tools for emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing also informs her approach when people want to change habits or substance use.

With ten years of experience, Cassandra blends goal-focused work with attention to values and meaning. She addresses family-of-origin issues, communication problems, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or shame. She also works with people facing eating and food-related struggles and bipolar-related challenges.

Her style is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life. Cassandra encourages clients to try new strategies between meetings and to build skills that last beyond therapy.

Resources and next steps are offered in a straightforward way so people leave each session with something useful. Those interested in connecting in Florida and who speak English can follow the platform process to begin a match and schedule sessions.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following what the person brings to sessions. The therapist focuses on understanding each person's perspective and shaping sessions around their priorities, which helps when people want to build confidence or improve relationships.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors with concrete exercises. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing habits because it breaks problems into manageable steps and homework tasks.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and maintaining relationships. Its practical techniques - like grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation - can be practiced between meetings to reduce intense reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying different tools and adjusting the plan over time.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as they are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or longer deep work as needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, assign between-session tasks, and use video or audio interactions to keep progress moving forward.
