Min. Cassandra Bell-Gash

M.Div., MEd., LCMHC, LPC

A native of Shelby, North Carolina, Min. Bell-Gash accepted Jesus Christ as her personal savior and was baptized at age 12, at the Light Oak Baptist Church by the Rev Johnny Browner. She has always had a zeal for the Lord and was licensed as a Minster of the Gospel in November 2007, under Rev. Zeno T. Borders. She has worked in Christian Education at Faith Missionary Baptist Church under Rev. Borders and later Rev. Dr. Anthony Negbenebor. Her unique gift of teaching and preaching has manifested itself in Sunday School and Bible Study, but has also produced specialized workshops and retreats for women, young adults, and youth. Her leadership conferences have generated new opportunities for her to consult with organizations in their strategic planning and development. She believes that empowering other organizations to provide care extends the available resources needed by so many.

Drawn to the marginalized in our society, Min. Bell-Gash, became an entrepreneur to advocate on their behalf. Her philosophy of going “beyond the walls”, propelled her to gain the necessary academics and training to provide holistic solutions. Earning her B.S. in Psychology minoring in Sociology in 1995 from the Gardner Web University; she continued and earned her M.Div, and MEd. respectively. As a continuous learner, she did not stop there, but has garnered many certifications in the mental health counseling field and continues to study.

One could see the “handwriting on the wall” because this has been her life work for over 15 years. Chaplin, Therapist, Mental Health Liaison, and Crisis Counselor are just a few of the titles she’s held; Caro Mont Hospital, Cleveland Regional Medical Center, Broughton, and Kings Mountain Hospital represent some of the places she’s practiced.

While titles and places are important, Min. Bell-Gash asserts that it’s the nameless individuals whose lives have been impacted by the services that she provides that really matter, and that continue to be her focus. Her “multifaceted” approach extends the services she offers for individuals and families, and is the added depth required to meet the spiritual and mental needs of the communities she serve.

She is currently CEO of Life Provisions with chapters in North and South Carolina.

She is a proud mother, and daughter and enjoys times with her family. She humbly acknowledges and accepts her role as a citizen of the Kingdom of God.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Cassandra Bell-Gash gives great insight and makes it welcoming to be vulnerable. I appreciate her guidance.

Ms. Cassandra is a godsend. Literally. She listens so well, it feels like you’re talking to a wise friend. The way she communicates her thoughts are so eloquent and powerful. I’ve never had a therapist (I’ve seen quite a few) be so warm and so accurate with how they deliver their advice until meeting her. Whether you’re religious or not, please see her. She will change your life.

Cassandra listens and gives great Godly advice!

She is kind!

She is very understanding and compassionate. She is patient and gives great advice and exercises to help work through any my issues. She is open in her discussions and inspiring with her ideas and words. I appreciate every session that I have had with her, and this has helped me to work through a lot of current and past issues I have had.

I can talk to her about anything. She is empathetic and perceptive.

Cassandra is a great listener and provides helpful tools and insights that I can use outside of our sessions. I highly recommend her.

Talking to Cassandra feels like talking to a friend. She's relatable and offers helpful advice because she understands.

I like that Cassandra checks in and is prompt in responding and communicating. She listens and puts things into perspective. The assignments make me think deeply.

I enjoy our sessions. She stay in contact regularly.

I am pleased to have a Christian-based therapies

Cassandra is very thoughtful and supportive. She makes therapy feel easy like talking to a friend.

Cassandra is a great listener and very perceptively intuitive to help me in this part of my Life. I'm really astounded how she assessed and addressed my core issues with precision. She has many tools to assist me. I'm grateful that the Universe put us together. I AM getting better mentally and more hopeful that "this too shall pass" in many areas of my Life. Thank you!!

Thank you for your help.

Very helpful and listens to understand. The best therapist I've ever had. Made sure I understood everything before we moved on to the problem. Non-judgmental and very caring and considerate.

Cassandra is great !!!

Cassandra Gash has a way of making me feel like things will be alright, even if I feel overwhelmed and stressed.

Cassandra is very helpful and was there every time I needed support. Great listener and give good pieces of advice, it was a pleasure to have her as my therapist ☺️

Cassandra is great ! Gives you solid perspectives.

She’s amazing!!!!! She takes time to listen and really help you through whatever you’re going through.

Cassandra is really great.

Cassandra is the best! She's a great listener, has a great sense of humor and gives awesome responses to my concerns. At times I really feel like I would be lost without her helping me to work through issues much more quickly than I would alone. I love knowing she's there any time I need support. She's highly recommended.

From the first session, Cassandra made me feel very comfortable. She is a great listener. I like how she provides me with coping tools to navigate through grief. While I started therapy for grief counseling the sessions are helping me in every area of my life. Cassandra is the best.

Cassandra Gash is able to incorporate my faith into my sessions and is very knowledgeable about the Bible and how it can apply to dealing with my anxiety and depression. I greatly appreciate that because I've never been able to find a therapist who could or would help me make that connection that is so important in my life as a Christian woman. She is down to earth and makes me feel very comfortable so that its easy to discuss what I'm dealing with. I am so grateful that I was matched with her and it has been a game changer for me after 30+ years of struggling with Anxiety and Depression and countless therapist, group sessions, books and medications.

I feel heard and understood and most importantly not judged during our videos and I really feel like she is genuine and wants the best for me. It's still early days but she has been a very positive influence so far.

Cassandra has been such a blessing to help me align my life and priorities. She has made me extremely comfortable and I look forward to speaking with her all the time. She’s patient, listens and always communicate things to me so I understand what she’s overall trying to explain to me. My time with her has made everything so much better. I’m so glad I get to work with Cassandra and I realize how important having someone like Cassandra is to one’s well being. Atleast for me, I’m starting to feel like I’m getting my life back.

Casandra is relatable. She has a passion for what she does. Genuinely interested in helping people out

Ms. Cassandra Gash is very kind and understanding. She listens and gives me things to think about so that I can make better decisions to reach goals. Talking with her regularly is really helping me.

Cassandra is so personable which makes her easy to talk/confident in. Her words and guidance are challenging and comforting at the same time.

Very understanding and helpful!

she’s a great therapist, that’s all i have to say. truly amazing

Since I have had her as a therapist, I have been recommended BetterHelp to people . Cassandra is gives me homework to tap into my goals. She also pushes my thought process for me to consider or think about that things

Cassandra is amazing! I have seen other therapists before who don't fully listen. They assume things and make comments about things that I never said. Cassandra listened to me and gave me a new perspective on what is going on in my life. I left our first call hopeful and excited. I no longer feel stressed about my situation. Cassandra is so kind and you can tell she loves what she does. I felt very comfortable sharing my life with her in our first session. I am so thankful that I got paired with her!

Cassandra has been extremely helpful since the very first session we’ve had together. I never truly realized how helpful therapy can be until going through these sessions and discussions with her. I’ve had very positive results after every session and have been able to apply what we’ve discussed in my life and it has been extremely helpful for me. Thank you, Cassandra!

I love that her views and advice for me are rooted from her own experiences as a Christian like me.

Cassandra is attentive, she knows when to listen and when to advise. She doesn’t judge but understands and has a lot of positive energy that’s infectious. Even if we don’t tackle any particular issues during the session, just talking to her makes me feel better. Cassandra is also very funny, the worst things seem to be easier to deal with.

She's amazing and so sweet

Cassandra is intuitive and effective. She has a clear understanding of my needs, and has helped me to understand the complex challenges that I have been facing for quite some time, in relatively simple terms. Moreover, she has presented me with viable solutions, and she responds to me in a timely manner.

Cassandra was perfectly matched with me! I consider her a God Sent Blessing! She is able to tune into me as if she were reading my thoughts! It's wonderful to have a connection like that with someone and feel stronger each time we talk/chat. She's a straight shooter and gets right to the heart of the matter which I respect and appreciate. If someone is truly looking for help and inspiration, they will find it with Cassandra!

Though Cassandra’s background is Christian, very different than my own, she offers very insightful and perspective opening commentary, She understands my concerns and helps me to find more empathy as well as strength to create boundaries.

Cassandra has helped me make excellent improvements in my mental health within just a few weeks!! Such a lovely, kind and understanding woman, I am so grateful!
