Cassondra Acampora, LCSW

Cassondra Acampora, LCSW ("Cassie") is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who earned both her Bachelor's degree in Human Development & Family Studies and her Master's in Social Work from the University of Connecticut. She has experience providing therapy across school-based, outpatient, intensive outpatient, and residential settings, working with children, adolescents, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds. Her clinical work has included supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral challenges, relationship concerns, substance use, and major life transitions, as well as providing crisis intervention when needed.

Cassie is a Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional (CMIP) and integrates mindfulness-based practices throughout her clinical work. She is especially drawn to depth-oriented trauma treatment and evidence-based approaches that foster meaningful, lasting change. Cassie blends psychodynamic insight with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based interventions, and nervous-system-informed strategies. She believes that understanding how past experiences shape present patterns is essential for healing, while also equipping clients with practical tools to regulate emotions, build resilience, and move forward with clarity.

Her approach is holistic and integrative, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and nervous system. Through mindfulness, grounding, and self-awareness practices, Cassie supports clients in developing greater emotional regulation, self-compassion, and presence in their daily lives. She views therapy as a collaborative partnership rooted in authenticity, safety, and respect.

Cassie strives to create a warm, grounded space where clients feel deeply heard and understood. She believes healing unfolds through genuine connection and that lasting change grows when individuals feel safe enough to explore their story without judgment. Her goal is to walk alongside each client as they cultivate balance, insight, and a life that feels aligned and meaningful.
