Therapeutic Approaches

Evidence-informed modalities described in plain language

Therapy is collaborative and tailored to what feels most helpful for you. Approaches may integrate elements from:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

May involve discussing distressing memories alongside guided eye movements or other alternating stimulation; Cassie can explain whether this approach fits your needs.

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

Focuses on identifying what matters most to you and developing psychological flexibility to navigate difficult thoughts and feelings.

DBT-Informed Skills (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy)

Offers practical skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional awareness, and interpersonal communication.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

Explores connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to help build constructive perspectives and coping strategies.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)

Combines mindfulness and self-kindness exercises to support a constructive, gentle inner dialogue during challenging moments.
