Cassey Simmons , LCSW, CSW

Cassey Simmons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and CSW practicing in Georgia. With more than seven years of direct clinical experience, she combines client-centered care, solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, and a strengths-based approach informed by Cognitive Behavioral Theory to support people through difficult transitions and crises.

Those who know her say she aims to "save the world," a reflection of a consistent commitment to advocacy and social justice. Her work has spanned adolescence through geriatrics in human service agencies, hospitals, and community outreach settings, with a focus on trauma response, crisis intervention, and addressing the impacts of poverty, discrimination, racism, sexism, and other forms of injustice. That breadth of experience has shaped a culturally aware and open-minded practice.

Colleagues value her clear communication and analytical approach when navigating complex life situations. She emphasizes self-love and emotional well-being while creating a comfortable, respectful space for each person she works with. If urgent help is needed at any time during care, she directs individuals to call 1-800-273-TALK; 1-800-SUICIDE; the Georgia Crisis and Access Line (GCAL) at 1-800-715-4225 24 hours a day; or 911. She looks forward to working with you.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cassey uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative relationship in which the person’s priorities and perspectives guide the work. This approach focuses on empathy, respect, and support to help people build awareness and self-directed change.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT helps with patterns such as anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching skills to reframe thinking and develop healthier coping strategies.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool in her practice, used to help people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change. It is especially useful for goals related to lifestyle shifts, addiction, or behavior change.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Cassey works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that align with their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into busy lives. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, reduce travel time, and can increase access to licensed professionals and therapists for people in different situations and locations.
