Rooted in Compassion. Guided by Experience.

Licensed therapist and consultant serving Missouri and Illinois.

Hi, I’m Cassandra—Therapist, Consultant, and Human First

Whether you’re here to unpack anxiety, navigate identity, or strengthen your leadership—I’m here to walk with you. Therapy and consulting built for real people, real problems, and real growth.

I worked with high-performing clients who realized doing more wasn't working—and that self-compassion and permission to rest was their path forward

I’m Cassandra Sissom (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC in Illinois, LPC in Missouri) and consultant with over 14 years of experience helping people feel more grounded, confident, and aligned—both personally and professionally.

I provide virtual therapy for Millennials and Gen Z clients facing anxiety, burnout, trauma, and identity stress. I also offer consulting services for parents, therapists, nonprofit leaders, and helping professionals who want support that’s both affirming and strategic.

My approach is practical, inclusive, and deeply collaborative. Clients often say I offer warmth, humor, and real-world strategies without the fluff. You bring the goals—I’ll bring the tools and support to help you move forward.

You’re Not Too Much. You’re Carrying Too Much.

In therapy, I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed Care—but always with your story, values, and goals at the center.

Whether you’re navigating a quarter-life crisis, identity exploration, or emotional exhaustion, we’ll create a space that’s safe, supportive, and grounded in what works.

You Lead Better When You’re Supported

Through my consulting services, I help caregivers, clinicians, and mission-driven leaders build clarity, confidence, and strategy. Whether it’s clinical supervision, parent coaching, or nonprofit consulting, I bring a trauma-informed, systems-aware lens to our work.

Consulting with me is part reflection, part planning, part action—customized to your needs and goals.

Some of my consulting clients include:

  • New therapists looking for clinical supervision

  • Parents navigating tough conversations and transitions

  • Nonprofit leaders and HR teams managing organizational growth, burnout, or DEI strategy

  • Helping professionals wanting to lead with more clarity and capacity

Good Work Happens in Safe, Supportive Relationships

Whether you’re coming to therapy or consulting, the relationship we build is the foundation. That means no judgment, no jargon, and no cookie-cutter advice—just honest, thoughtful partnership.

We’ll move at your pace, center your strengths, and work together to move from stuck to supported.
