Cassie Maxwell, LCSW

Cassie Maxwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience providing client-centered, strength-based therapy in Louisiana. She recognizes that reaching out for support is a meaningful first step and seeks to partner with people as they pursue their personal goals and navigate life changes.

Cassie has worked with individuals from culturally diverse backgrounds and emphasizes a non-judgmental, multicultural, trauma-informed approach. She aims to create a safe space where people can share their stories and be met with empathy and respect while exploring strategies for healing and growth.

Her clinical experience spans work with children, teens, and adults to address a range of mental health and behavioral challenges, including depression, anxiety, anger management, grief and loss, ADHD, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. She encourages anyone who does not see their concern listed to reach out so they can discuss whether her approach would be a good fit.

Clients may choose video sessions, phone sessions, or live chat to receive care. She does not currently work with individuals experiencing active mental health crises and asks that anyone in crisis call 988 to request an ambulance or go to the nearest emergency room; the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is also available by calling or texting 988.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cassie Maxwell draws on client-centered therapy to build a respectful, collaborative relationship that centers each person's values and strengths. This approach helps clients feel heard as they set goals and make changes at their own pace.

She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving.

Mindfulness therapy is used to help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and feelings, which can support emotional regulation and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cassie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, access care from home, and maintain continuity of treatment with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
