With four years of clinical experience, she centers her work on each person’s individual goals and emotional needs, meeting clients where they are and tailoring strategies to the concerns they bring to therapy.

Cassie’s practice emphasizes practical support for challenges such as addictions, trauma and abuse, depressive symptoms, low self-esteem, and the complicated process of grief. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to fit the client’s preferences, helping clients build coping skills, explore difficult emotions, and clarify what they want to change.

Clients can expect a collaborative, client-focused space where curiosity and creativity guide the process. Whether addressing recent losses, long-standing patterns related to substance use, or struggles with mood and self-image, Cassie works to create a plan that reflects the client’s priorities and supports meaningful progress over time.

Practical, Evidence-Based Care for Recovery and Emotional Healing

Cassie Surplus draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients address addictions, process trauma and grief, and improve mood and self-esteem. One approach emphasizes trauma-informed work that helps people safely explore and make sense of painful experiences while building tools to reduce reactivity and distress. Another approach focuses on skills-based strategies that teach practical coping skills for managing cravings, low mood, and overwhelming emotions, helping clients develop routines and responses that support stability.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cassie works together with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques over time so therapy aligns with changing needs and progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit treatment into a busy life through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, maintain continuity of care between appointments, and access support in formats that feel most comfortable for the client, all guided by a licensed professional.
