KaSandra Hogue

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience providing therapy in private practice, residential treatment, school-based programs, and community mental health settings. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, behavioral concerns, family conflict, communication difficulties, grief, or major life transitions. I am especially passionate about helping young people and families strengthen their relationships, understand emotional and behavioral patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping. My goal is to create a supportive, respectful space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized to each client’s needs. I use evidence-based techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based practice. I help clients identify the thoughts, emotions, experiences, and environmental factors contributing to their current challenges. Together, we develop practical coping skills, improve communication, strengthen emotional regulation, and establish realistic goals. I believe therapy should provide both emotional support and useful strategies that clients can apply in their daily lives.

During the first session, clients can expect a welcoming, confidential, and judgment-free environment. We will discuss what brought you to therapy, the concerns you would like to address, your personal strengths, and what you hope to accomplish through treatment. I will also ask questions about your background, relationships, current stressors, and any symptoms affecting your daily functioning. Together, we will begin identifying treatment goals and developing a plan that feels comfortable, manageable, and meaningful to you. There is no pressure to share everything immediately; the first session is also an opportunity for us to begin building trust and determine whether I am the right therapist for your needs.
