About Cassondra
Cassondra Frisque is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, addiction, grief, and trauma. She works with individuals seeking clearer boundaries, healthier coping skills, and more compassion for themselves. Her approach is direct and caring, aimed at practical steps people can use between sessions.
She uses evidence-informed methods to address attachment concerns, codependency, and communication struggles. Sessions often include techniques to reduce intense emotions and to identify behavior patterns that keep problems stuck. Cassondra helps people process past hurts and build skills for present challenges.
With six years of clinical experience, she has supported clients dealing with substance use, process addictions, and post-traumatic stress. She also aids people facing fertility-related distress, hospice and end-of-life issues, and the aftermath of sexual assault and abuse. Her work balances short-term coping strategies with deeper exploration when clients want that.
Cassondra integrates several approaches in her practice, tailoring methods to each person rather than using a single fixed protocol. She emphasizes practical tools like emotion regulation, pacing exposure to difficult memories, and motivational conversations about change. The goal is steady progress that fits into everyday life.
People who choose her often want straightforward guidance and respectful listening. She aims to create an atmosphere where clients can name painful experiences, practice new responses, and leave sessions with at least one manageable step to try before the next visit.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people respond to stress. It can help with overwhelming anxiety, self-destructive behaviors, and learning steady coping routines.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, called EMDR, is a method used to reduce the grip of painful memories. It involves guided processing that can lessen the emotional charge of traumatic events and ease related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or combine methods that match the person's needs, goals, and comfort level. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made together so clients feel in control of their path forward.
If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. The practical advantages of remote sessions include easier scheduling around work or family commitments, the ability to do a shorter check-in when time is limited, and avoiding travel time. These benefits can make it simpler to keep consistent appointments and apply skills learned in sessions to everyday life.
