Most of my background has been in supporting individuals or families with children with complex developmental needs and neurodiversity. I love working with folks of all ages and backgrounds and am an ally.
Personally, I love crafting, cooking, paddle boarding and traveling to National Parks with my husband and two small children.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe mental health ties to many different aspects of our lives. Many people find it difficult to ask for help and I can see the difference when people make that first step. My goal is that people do not struggle alone and I am here to help. I work with adults of all ages but really enjoy working with couples and women who experience anxiety, depression, or PTSD.
Hi! My name is Cassie. I am a licensed clinical social worker in both GA and SC. I am devoted to helping individuals grow and overcome their obstacles in life. I have worked with clients from all walks of life. I am able to work with anyone.
Counseling is actually my 2nd career, doing I.T. Support was my 1st.
While working in that field, I told people that I did just as much counseling as I did I.T. work. Many people came to see me feeling anxious, angry, stressed, overwhelmed, or in grief because of technology issues.
I quickly learned that there were two issues going on:
· One was technical and the other was emotional.
· One needed repair and the other needed relief.
So, I addressed the person and their emotions first and then addressed their I.T. issues. I spent thousands of hours sitting with people, fixing their technology and giving space for their emotions and...I loved it!
I didn’t realize it then, but these were my first steps which would lead me into pursuing a career as a therapist. Now my work is in Emotional Support and instead of addressing hardware and software, I get to address brainware and heartware.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Charleston, SC
Searching for therapists in Charleston starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist specialties match your needs. Charleston therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to address. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other forms of support.
In a smaller city like Charleston, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your search beyond nearby offices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in South Carolina. When comparing Charleston counseling options, consider 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 help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Charleston, SC can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make mental health care more affordable. Headway helps you search for a Charleston, SC therapist who matches your needs, takes your insurance, and offers upfront cost estimates before you book.
