About Cassondra
Cassondra DeLuce Jankowski is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping parents and individuals manage stress, parenting challenges, and emotional strain. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy approachable for people juggling busy lives. Cassondra brings seven years of practice experience and understands the pressure caregivers often face.
She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues around eating and body image. Cassondra also supports those facing grief, relationship tensions, anger, and major life changes.
Background and approach
She is experienced addressing ADHD-related concerns and attachment or adoption-related difficulties. Cassondra’s background includes hospital-based work with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families, and she has worked in both higher levels of care and outpatient settings.
She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of South Carolina and completed a bachelor’s degree in Counseling Psychology with a minor in children and families from Johnson and Wales University. In sessions she combines practical strategies from a range of evidence-based approaches.
That can mean skill-building for emotional regulation, thought work for anxiety and depression, and focused conversation about family patterns around eating and caregiving. The emphasis is on clear steps parents can try between sessions.
Cassondra aims to create an open, empathetic space where parents and individuals can talk through difficult moments and find realistic ways to cope and change routines that aren’t working.

Approaches that guide online parenting and emotional work
Therapy often focuses on a few practical, evidence-based techniques that help with everyday parenting struggles and emotional symptoms. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thoughts and teach ways to reframe them so anxiety and low mood feel more manageable; these methods are useful for worry, depression, and body image concerns.Skills-based strategies teach emotion regulation and behavior tools to reduce reactivity and improve daily routines. These techniques help with anger, dysregulation, and problems like disruptive mood patterns in children and adolescents.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Cassondra will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a short break during a workday or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing support between longer appointments.
