Cassandre Charnel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hi! My name is Cassie, and I'm a Christian, faith-based therapist licensed and located in the sunny (and sometimes rainy!) state of Florida. The questions posed above speak to challenges many of us are regularly faced with, but may find it difficult to speak about. Instead, we may find ourselves harboring feelings of shame and guilt which blocks us from pursuing and receiving the help we need.
Well there is good news! Therapy with me is conducted within a safe, judgment-free space, where I provide opportunities for you to face those challenges and express those feelings. My approach to treatment can incorporate impartation of biblical wisdom, recommendations for the development of affirming spiritual disciplines, and prayer. At each stage of treatment, we'll collaborate to assess and engage in a way which best fits you.

Full Circle Mental Health LLC
Registered Social Worker, MSW, LISW
Your faith, values, and spiritual upbringing form a core part of how you view yourself and the world around you. However, when life transitions, relationship strain, or deep spiritual questions arise, it can feel incredibly isolating to navigate them alone. At Full Circle Mental Health LLC, I provide a compassionate, telehealth space across Ohio for individuals, couples, and families seeking a therapist who truly understands the deep nuances of Christian frameworks, culture, and community.
Because faith journeys are deeply personal, my approach is entirely customized, respectful, and grounded in a strengths-based, trauma-informed lens. I work with clients across a broad spiritual spectrum:
• Faith-Aligned Growth: For individuals and couples looking to strengthen their relationships or navigate life transitions while honoring their foundational Christian values and belief systems.
• Religious Deconstruction & Transition: For those who are experiencing the unsettling weight of spiritual doubt, unpacking complex church trauma, or wrestling with inherited religious patterns that no longer feel healthy or aligned.
• Systemic Family Work: Utilizing Bowenian family systems to help blended families navigate differing spiritual dynamics or generational expectations with healthy boundaries and mutual respect.
You do not have to hide your doubts, your questions, or your convictions here. Whether you are seeking premarital counseling rooted in your values, trying to break negative cycles in your marriage, or processing a shift in your spiritual worldview, we will collaborate safely. Together, we will honor your innate resilience, process your unique narrative, and build a personalized roadmap toward genuine healing and internal peace.

Dayton is an Ohio city with a distinctive dual identity as both a struggling post-industrial community and a city defined by innovation—the birthplace of aviation and home to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, one of the largest and most important USAF installations in the country—and this tension between decline and purpose shapes its mental health landscape in complex ways. The city was among the hardest hit by the opioid and fentanyl epidemic in the late 2010s, becoming a nationally recognized epicenter for drug-related deaths that prompted significant community response and transformed how local mental health services approach addiction and recovery. The University of Dayton and Wright State University bring student populations and academic resources, while Kettering Health and Premier Health provide behavioral health services to the broader community. Common therapy concerns include addiction and recovery, trauma (both opioid-related community grief and military trauma from the WPAFB population), anxiety, depression, and the economic stress of a city working to rebuild its identity after decades of industrial decline.
