I'm Kassandra, a Licensed Independent Social Worker trained at Case Western Reserve

University. My clinical foundation was built doing crisis intervention and specialized

trauma work with survivors of sexual assault, child abuse, and sex trafficking before

I became independently licensed. That experience isn't a line on a resume. It's the reason

I can sit with the hardest things clients bring in without needing them to minimize,

manage, or explain themselves first. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults

individually and with couples. I'm explicitly LGBTQIA+-affirming and have experience

with transgender and identity-related concerns. I offer telehealth across Ohio and accept

insurance through Headway.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Caitlin! I offer flexible scheduling (evenings & weekends) and affordable Christian virtual counseling for children-adults. I’m also working toward EMDR certification. I’m glad you’re here! Reaching out for support takes courage, and you’ve already taken an important first step.

I am a dual-credentialed Clinical Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) and an Independent Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) for over 8 years. I have experience working with children and teens (along with supporting parents), young adults, people with disabilities, and women.

I believe in caring for the whole person through mind, body, and spirit. I also offer Christian counseling upon request, allowing faith and the Holy Spirit to guide our time together.

It would be an honor to walk alongside you. Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to go through it alone.

Warmly, Caitlin :)

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Westlake

Searching for therapists in Westlake starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare Westlake therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

In a smaller city like Westlake, local therapist availability may vary by specialty, schedule, and appointment type. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Ohio while still giving you access to licensed care from home. You may also want to compare whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can show you how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Westlake can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists in Westlake, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
