CASSY UNKRAUT

She/Her MA, LPCC-S

Our lives are made up of experiences, both beautiful and difficult, that shape who we are and how we move through the world. My own journey has been no exception. As a child, adults often struggled to contain my impulsivity and make sense of my “neuro-spicy” brain. I had big emotions, big ideas, and even bigger plans but the world around me kept telling me to shrink, to quiet down, to take up less space. I learned early what it felt like to believe something was wrong with me, which fueled years of self-doubt and insecurity.

My first experience in therapy was at eight years old when my parents divorced. I don’t remember much about those early sessions, but I do remember getting gummy bears at the end, which is probably what sparked my lifelong love for gummy candy. My therapy journey continued through adolescence, where I met a therapist who profoundly impacted my life. For the first time, I experienced what it felt like to have a safe, secure attachment with an adult who didn’t try to “fix” me but instead helped me see that I wasn’t bad or broken—I was simply human. Later, as an adult, I continued my own therapy journey and, like many people, encountered both deeply healing and not-so-great experiences along the way. Each of those experiences, good and bad, helped shape the therapist I am today.

  • Today, I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist with a Supervision designation (LPCC-S), licensed in both Ohio and Kentucky. I specialize in the treatment of sexual dysfunction, sexual pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD, and mood disorders.

    I have a particular passion for exploring the intersection between sexual dysfunction and trauma, and how those experiences impact a person’s sense of self and their relationships. I also work with couples navigating desire discrepancies, communication breakdowns, and the ripple effects of sexual challenges within the relationship.

    My professional focus mirrors my own healing journey and experience. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is sacred and it’s the space where transformation begins. I practice from a Feminist, sex-positive and trauma-informed and integrate approaches such as Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and EMDR to help clients process and release the weight of their past.

    At the heart of my work with clients is a simple truth: healing happens in connection. I consider it an honor to sit with people in their pain, their growth, and their rediscovery of self and to remind them that they never have to make themselves smaller to be worthy of love and belonging.

    Lastly, I want to acknowledge that finding the right therapist has been proven to be just as important as the interventions we use in therapy. I encourage you to be picky, trust your gut, feel out the vibes, and choose someone who feels like a safe place to land.

Modalities Used in Session

  • Feminist theory helps you understand how your experiences and identities shape your life and relationships. It’s collaborative, empowering, and focused on helping you reclaim your voice, strength, and sense of self.

  • Attachment Theory helps you understand how early relationships shape the way you connect, communicate, and feel in your current relationships. In therapy, we explore these patterns together so you can create healthier, more secure ways of relating to yourself and the people you care about.

  • IFS helps you understand the different “parts” of yourself—like the protective parts, the hurt parts, and the parts that want change. In therapy, we work with these parts gently and compassionately so they can feel heard and supported, allowing you to feel more balanced, grounded, and whole.

  • EMDR helps your brain process and heal from painful or overwhelming experiences. Through guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, your mind can safely rework stuck memories so they feel less intense, helping you move forward with more ease, clarity, and emotional relief.

  • The Gottman Method helps couples strengthen their relationship by improving communication, deepening connection, and navigating conflict more effectively. It uses practical, research-based tools to help partners understand each other better, build trust, and create a more supportive, fulfilling partnership.

  • EFT helps individuals and couples understand the emotions and patterns that shape their relationships. By identifying core feelings and needs, it supports creating safer, more connected interactions so partners can move from disconnection to closeness, security, and emotional bonding.

Outside of the Office

I’m a lover of all things cute and whimsy. I truly find joy in the little things in life and spend a lot of my time outside of work seeking out those small moments of happiness. For me, that usually means adventures to new places, board games with friends, cuddling up with a library book (fairy smut and horror are my favorites), trying new restaurants with my husband, and ending the day with nighttime snuggles from my cat Pip.
