Cassondra Macaione is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who specializes in treating anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating issues, and trauma. Cassondra works with adolescents and adults ages 16 to 65, including families and couples, who are coping with major life transitions, relationship challenges, depression, and anxiety. She has worked with people navigating complex trauma, and she helps clients build strong, practical tools to support a full and happy life.

Cassondra received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Northeastern University and a Master’s degree in Social Work from Boston University, with a specialization in group work and trauma. Cassondra believes therapy is a great opportunity to implement and highlight incremental changes in a client’s progress, and she focuses on the importance of looking at a client’s strengths rather than focusing on deficits and current stressors that may be showing up in relationships, work or school, and home life. Cassondra takes a client-centered approach and focuses on formulating specific goals and objectives, and she provides counseling in accordance with those plans. Additionally, she utilizes a variety of psychological methods and techniques during the screening, assessment, and evaluation phases of treatment. Techniques include mindfulness, meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies to assist you in attaining your goals.
