Cassandra Sissom
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC
You're tired of holding it all together. You've checked the boxes, shown up for everyone else, and still feel anxious, stuck, or like something's missing. Maybe you're a high-achieving teen or college student under constant pressure. A parent stretched too thin. A young adult questioning your identity or feeling burned out. You don't have to go through it alone.
I offer virtual therapy across Missouri and Illinois, specializing in anxiety, identity exploration, life transitions, family stress, and LGBTQ+ affirming care. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative. Therapy with me is a space where you can exhale, feel seen, and explore what healing means to you, without judgment or pressure.
With over 14 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, LCPC) and a background in leadership and consulting, I bring depth, warmth, and real-world insight to each session. Whether you're seeking support, clarity, or a change, I'm here to help you move forward.
