I'm Casaundra Adams, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania. I specialize in anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and PTSD, and I'm especially passionate about supporting people navigating identities, mental health, grief, and the ways previous experiences shape how we move through the world today. I'm telehealth-based, which means I see clients from anywhere in Pennsylvania, no commute required. My style is warm, open minded, and accepting.
My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Stengths Based Approaches, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Psychodynamic therapy - because the best approach is the one that fits the actual person in front of me. I use CBT to help you identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical tools you can use between sessions. I bring a trauma-informed lens to everything, which means I move at your pace and don't push you where you're not ready. And because I believe in strengths-based work, I'm as interested in what you're already doing right as I am in what's hard.
Our first session is a real conversation - not a checklist. I'll ask what's bringing you in right now, what you've already tried, and what "better" actually looks like to you. You don't have to come in with everything figured out. You don't have to share every hard thing. We go at your pace. By the end of the session, you'll have a clear sense of how I work and whether it feels like the right fit. I'll share my honest initial thoughts, and we'll sketch out a direction for our work together. Most people leave feeling a little lighter than when they arrived.
