Cassia Garcia-Knab, LPC

Cassia Garcia-Knab is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing midlife questions, life transitions, relationship strain, and mood concerns. She speaks English and Portuguese and works with clients in Texas and with international clients.

Cassia keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can say what is on their mind. She listens for practical patterns and helps clients identify steps they can try between meetings.

Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That mix lets her combine focused problem-solving with attention to emotions and coping skills. She uses CBT tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and DBT strategies to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

Cassia has worked for many years with concerns such as grief, parenting stress, intimacy issues, anger, compassion fatigue, career questions, bipolar-related challenges, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image worries.

Many clients arrive feeling stuck or overwhelmed and want clear next steps. Cassia helps people break larger problems into manageable pieces and tries to match tools to daily life. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cassia often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means she prioritizes listening and understanding each person's perspective and values. This approach helps people clarify goals and feel heard as they decide next steps.

She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding. CBT can be useful for mood, sleep, and day-to-day stress management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies are part of her work too, offering concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cassia will work with clients to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single technique. That means trying tools together and adjusting based on what fits someone's life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule and to use skills in the moment between meetings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed or avoid travel time on workdays. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
