About Cassia

Cassia Garcia-Knab is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people rebuild confidence and cope with life stressors. She uses a calm, direct approach so clients can talk about hard things without feeling judged. Cassia speaks English and Portuguese and brings 16 years of clinical experience to sessions in Texas and beyond.

Cassia aims to create an open space where clients can name what feels wrong and try practical steps to feel better. She helps people handle grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports work-related stress, career questions, and the emotional fallout from chronic illness or major life changes.

Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, where the conversation follows the client’s priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions. She also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day coping.

Cassia has experience with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, codependency, and issues around attachment or abandonment. She often helps clients who are dealing with sleep problems, anger, compassion fatigue, or transitions like divorce and blended family adjustments.

If someone is unsure how to begin, Cassia encourages a simple first step: describe what matters most and set one small goal. From there she works collaboratively to build tools that fit each person’s life and priorities.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Cassia uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions focus on what the client says matters most. That means the therapist follows the client's lead, listens carefully, and helps the person set their own goals.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical ways to shift unhelpful patterns. DBT skills are used when strong emotions feel hard to manage, offering tools for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cassia works collaboratively to choose or combine methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan together with the client.

For practical matters, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also lets people keep continuity of care when they move or travel, while still working with licensed professionals to address self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns, or coping skills development.
