Getting to know Casandra Oyeka
My name is Casandra Oyeka, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles. I work with adults and specialize in treating anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My goal is to support clients in reaching their goals and promoting a healthy mind, body, and soul.
My approach to therapy varies based on each client’s needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as these modalities help us build a shared understanding of their reality and work together to chart a path forward.
I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults and individuals struggling with self-esteem, daily life stressors, depression, worry, and past traumas. I help clients navigate these challenges and build skills to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life.
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.
I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Whether as a peer counselor in school, volunteering in my community, or being a trusted and loyal friend, I have naturally been drawn to supporting others through difficult times. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves.
My approach to goal setting is collaborative, focusing on defining what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often begins by building trust and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy.
