Getting to know Kassandra Franco

I'm Kassandra, founder and owner of Luna Licensed Mental Health Counseling. Our mission is to help clients bridge the gap between understanding themselves and actually feeling different. Like many of my clients, I've navigated anxiety, life transitions, and moments of losing touch with my own confidence, and I'm confident we can help you move toward finally feeling like YOU. Sometimes that means shedding old skin and moving through the growing pains that come with it. Like the moon, every phase is real, active, and necessary. At Luna, we help you learn to integrate them all in a way that promotes real healing.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My biggest strength as a clinician is my ability to attune to what a client needs in the moment, sometimes before it's even been put into words. I value transparency, empathy, and unconditional positive regard, and I try to bring all three into every session. I love what I do because I find real purpose in being able to help people, even when that just means being fully present for them. After enough rapport is built, there will be moments where you're challenged to go deeper but you won't have to worry about feeling alone in your healing journey.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Think of our first session as a conversation where you don't have to show up as anyone other than exactly how you're feeling that day. Underneath that, we'll be gathering some important information: what's brought you in, a bit of your history, and what you're hoping therapy can help you move toward. From there, we'll start shaping a game plan built around your goals. Throughout, I approach things from a warm, intuitive lens, meeting you where you're at as we build rapport together.
