Cassondra DeLuce Jankowski, LCSW

Cassondra DeLuce Jankowski is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage jealousy-related stress alongside anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely so parents and individuals can feel understood. Cassie aims to make the first steps into therapy simple and direct for people who are worried or distracted.

She earned a Master of Social Work from The University of South Carolina in 2018 and has seven years of clinical experience, including hospital-based work with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. Her background includes focused work with eating and body-image concerns, crisis management, self-harm behaviors, and trauma. Cassie also supports people coping with grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and other life changes.

In sessions she draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioral approaches and skills from dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. She uses those methods to address thoughts, emotions, and daily habits that keep problems stuck. The work is practical and rooted in small, doable steps.

Cassie has experience offering Emotion-Focused Family Therapy and Family-Based Therapy in higher-level care and outpatient settings. She focuses on clear communication, managing strong emotions, and rebuilding trust when control or abandonment fears show up. Her goal is to help people find tools that fit their life.

She practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Evidence-based techniques she uses include cognitive behavioral approaches, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing everyday behaviors to reduce anxiety and jealousy. These techniques help with worry, low mood, and patterns that keep people stuck. Dialectical behavior therapy skills offer concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance tools for intense moments, useful for managing anger, strong jealousy, or crises. Acceptance and commitment therapy emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed action, which can help when people feel pulled between fear and what they want in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan based on what helps in real life. Clients and the therapist review progress and shift strategies as needed to find what fits.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people practice new skills in their everyday routines and bring real situations into session conversations to create useful changes.
