Cassandra Sissom, LCPC, LPC
Founder, Therapist ↗
Hi! I’m Cassandra (she/her), and I work with smart, burned-out Millennials and Gen Z who are tired of overthinking and ready for something real. Therapy with me isn’t just talking. It’s honest, collaborative, and ends with a real-life plan.

FAQ
-
Yes. Research shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person care for most concerns—including anxiety, burnout, identity work, and trauma recovery. All of our sessions are held online using a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. The real difference isn’t the format—it’s the relationship, the process, and whether your therapist actually gets what you’re going through.
-
Some of our clinicians are in-network with insurance; others are private-pay only. During your free consult call, we’ll walk you through your options and help you figure out what’s covered, what’s not, and what your out-of-pocket cost might look like. No surprise bills. No runaround.
-
We do. Our team includes clinicians who offer pre-licensure supervision (LCSW and LPC in Missouri and LCPC in IL), leadership coaching, parent coaching, and nonprofit consulting. Whether you're navigating burnout as a provider or looking for systems-level support, let us know and we’ll point you in the right direction.
-
We work with adults, teens (13+), parents, and families. Many of our clients are navigating anxiety, high-functioning burnout, identity exploration, life transitions, or relationship stress. We offer LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed care that’s built for real life—not just talk therapy that goes nowhere.
-
Not at all—but many of our therapists do specialize in supporting women, LGBTQ+ folks, and clients who don’t always feel at home in more traditional therapy settings. We’re here for anyone who’s looking for therapy that’s thoughtful, inclusive, and focused on actual change.
-
Totally okay. You don’t need a diagnosis or a perfectly-worded reason to reach out. Your first step is a 15-minute consult call—low pressure, no commitment. We’ll answer your questions, help you find a good fit, and talk through what to expect from that first session. Your therapist will guide the process from there.
-
Yes and no. You’re always welcome to request a specific therapist from our team. But if you’re not sure who to work with, we’ll help match you based on your goals, availability, preferences, and the therapist’s areas of focus. If the fit isn’t quite right? We’ll help you switch—no weirdness.
-
We do. Our team includes clinicians who offer pre-licensure supervision (LCSW in Missouri), leadership coaching, parent coaching, and nonprofit consulting. Whether you're navigating burnout as a provider or looking for systems-level support, let us know and we’ll point you in the right direction.
-
Yes. Many of our therapists specialize in supporting neurodivergent clients—including those with ADHD, sensory sensitivity, executive functioning struggles, or social/identity challenges. We don’t treat you like a list of symptoms—we meet you with curiosity, flexibility, and respect for how your brain actually works.
-
Counseling (also called therapy) is a licensed mental health service. It’s focused on emotional wellness, trauma recovery, anxiety, identity work, and mental health goals—and we’re only legally allowed to provide it to residents of Missouri or Illinois.
Consulting is different. It’s a collaborative, strategy-based service that isn’t therapy. Consulting might look like parent coaching, professional supervision, or leadership guidance. It’s available nationwide and doesn’t require a mental health diagnosis or residency in a particular state.
Not sure which one fits your needs? Start with a free consult and we’ll help you figure it out.
