My approach is grounded in compassion and empowerment. I believe in creating a safe and non-oppressive space where you can explore challenges, make positive changes, and navigate life's complexities. My strengths lie in guiding individuals towards their goals, fostering resilience, and promoting holistic well-being. Together, we'll work collaboratively to unlock your potential and cultivate a fulfilling life journey.
I received a BSW from the University of North Texas in 1990 and an MSW from the University of Maryland in 1993 and have worked in the fields of community mental health, grief and loss, foster care and adoption, trauma recovery, depression, anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder. I specialize in Autistic Spectrum Disorders.
I am certified in Brainspotting and Critical Incident Stress Management and am recognized as a Certified Trauma Treatment Specialist by the Association of Traumatic Stress Specialists.
With extensive experience working with adolescents and adults across diverse settings—including hospital inpatient programs, Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), county agencies, and private practice—I bring a wealth of knowledge and understanding to my therapeutic approach. My professional journey has provided me with a comprehensive perspective on mental health care and the unique challenges individuals face at different stages of life.
Life can feel overwhelming when stress, difficult experiences, relationship challenges, or emotional struggles begin affecting your ability to function the way you want to. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, family conflict, parenting concerns, or the impact of past experiences, you don't have to face it alone. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are looking for support, healing, and practical tools to create meaningful change. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward after years of trying to manage everything on their own. My goal is to provide a supportive, affirming environment where you feel understood and empowered. Together, we'll identify what's contributing to your challenges, build on your strengths, and work toward healthier relationships, improved coping skills, and a more balanced life.
Hi, my name is Cassie Carrasco and I am licensed professional counselor. I specialize in working with adults with trauma. I use evidence-based therapies and somatic experiencing to help heal and reconnect with themselves.
I have been a therapist for over 25 years providing individual, couple, family, and group therapy. I am very passionate about helping others see their individual strengths and unique gifts to help guide them and navigate challenges in life. The most valuable experience I enjoy seeing is the transformation of a person healing and growing to their desired outcome. I believe every person has the ability to achieve their highest potential.

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 a Mental Health Therapist in Texas
Searching for therapists in Texas starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across a state as large and varied as Texas, therapy needs and available therapists can differ across urban, suburban, and rural areas. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience to see whether their background matches your needs. Some therapists may use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, while others may focus on specific populations or concerns.
Location and format also matter when comparing Texas therapists. In larger areas like Houston, Dallas, and Austin, you may have many choices, while other parts of the state may have fewer local options. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or easier access from home. As you narrow your search, look at appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their style, what sessions may feel like, and whether their communication approach fits your preferences.
The cost of therapy in Texas can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Texas therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and are ready to take new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
