Cassandre Charnel, LCSW, LISW — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Cassandre!

I’m a Christian, faith-based therapist licensed and located in the sunny (and sometimes rainy!) state of Florida.

My focus

I work best with Christian women facing trauma, abuse, relationship challenges, loss, codependency, boundary issues, and self-esteem struggles. My approach incorporates faith-based support alongside clinical treatment. I am not currently trained in working with LGBTQI+ clients.

My approach

I believe in the power of faith to guide healing. My practice integrates biblical wisdom, spiritual disciplines, and prayer into evidence-based therapy. We'll collaborate at each stage to find what best fits you, helping you reach freedom and peace where your life and relationships can flourish.

My communication style

Therapy with me is a safe, judgment-free space where you can face challenges and express feelings that may be misunderstood elsewhere. My style is warm, authentic, and empowering. I provide opportunities for honest exploration and growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe you are the expert of your own story with God-given strengths to assist your journey. My job is helping you identify and utilize them fully. It takes courage to seek change, and I'm here to walk alongside you. There is hope for everyone, even those feeling defeated.

My goals for you

I use CBT to change thinking patterns, DBT for emotional regulation, Narrative Exposure Therapy for complex trauma, and Interpersonal Therapy for relationship difficulties. My Christian counseling approach integrates biblical wisdom, spiritual disciplines, and prayer tailored to your needs.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll start with introductions and explore why you're seeking therapy now. We'll discuss specific difficulties you're facing, touch on your history, and identify your goals. This helps me create a tailored plan for our work together.
