Cassie Maxwell, LCSW

Cassie Maxwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience helping people in Louisiana. She greets each person with a warm, nonjudgmental attitude and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable. Many people come to her for help with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cassie uses practical methods that focus on what clients want to change. She blends cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered and mindfulness approaches to build everyday skills for coping. Sessions often include talking through painful events, learning new ways to notice and shift thoughts, and practicing calmness skills.

Her background includes work with diverse cultural groups and people navigating trauma and loss. That experience shapes how she listens and responds, especially when someone has had hard or repeated stressors. She aims to make space for each person’s story and values.

In addition to mood and anxiety concerns, Cassie supports people facing relationship stress, parenting challenges, sleep and eating problems, addictions, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and career strain. She also addresses compassion fatigue among caregivers. Sessions are tailored to current needs and personal goals.

Cassie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How Cassie Uses Talk, Thought Work, and Mindfulness Online

Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real experiences. It helps people reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and change behaviors that get in the way of daily life. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a strong, respectful relationship so clients feel heard and can set their own goals. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to ease stress and increase present-moment control.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cassie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant to what someone needs that week.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls make it possible to have more personal conversation and see nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for shorter updates, homework check-ins, or when scheduling makes longer sessions difficult. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives.
