In 2008, he became licensed as a professional counselor in Pennsylvania and became a licensed clinical drugs and alcohol counselor in New Jersey in 2009. This enabled him to begin his career in private practice. After a year in private practice, his agency was approved by the New Jersey Division of Child Behavioral Health as an intensive in-home and community provider.[5][6][7]

The People's Liberation Party (PLP) was certificated by the National Elections Commission on 21 December 2020.[8] Its founder, Cassell served as the party's first political leader and standard bearer.[9] In 2022, Cassell announced his intention to run for president of Liberia in the 2023 election with the PLP.[10][11][12][13][14][15]
