Cassia Garcia-Knab, LPC

Cassia Garcia-Knab is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with relationship tensions, grief, anger, sleep problems, attention challenges, and life transitions. She also supports clients facing career stress, self-esteem concerns, caregiving strain, and issues related to LGBT identity.

Her style centers on listening first and building a calm, nonjudgmental space. She encourages people to say what they need to say and then works with them to find clearer paths forward. Sessions are focused on practical steps as well as understanding feelings.

Cassia uses approaches that include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That means she blends compassionate listening with concrete skills for emotion management and problem solving. She tailors methods to the person rather than offering one fixed method.

Her background covers many kinds of concerns, including parenting stress, blended family issues, abandonment wounds, attachment patterns, chronic illness or pain, and commitment or control struggles. She also has experience addressing bipolar mood issues and compassion fatigue among caregivers.

Cassia offers sessions in English and Portuguese and accepts clients in Texas and internationally. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How her therapeutic approaches fit into online work

Cassia uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-first environment where people can describe what matters to them. This approach focuses on understanding feelings and building trust so clients feel heard and understood.

She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments that change behavior. CBT is useful for worries, sleep problems, low mood, and managing day-to-day tasks.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high. DBT techniques can help with anger, relationship tensions, and intense mood swings.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Cassia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. Collaboration helps shape sessions to be relevant and doable.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking to understand how meetings are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for focused skill practice between sessions. Licensed professionals can help clients plan sessions that match their daily routines and needs.
