About Casey

Casey Sbat is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on families and parenting concerns. She offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, and relationship or family difficulties. Parents who feel overwhelmed or stuck will find a calm and practical approach that focuses on small, useful changes.

Casey uses clear, goal-oriented methods in sessions. She often helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Then she guides them to try different responses and habits that fit their family life.

Background and approach

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find the drive to make changes. Casey trained in clinical mental health counseling and holds the LPC credential, licensed in Pennsylvania. Her background includes work in emergency rooms, outpatient settings, schools, residential treatment, and in-home support.

That experience shaped her comfort with crisis work, parenting struggles, grief, trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions. Sessions focus on clients' strengths and practical tools. Casey leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to reframe thinking and solution-focused steps to set achievable goals.

Mindfulness practices may be used to reduce stress and improve sleeping and emotional regulation. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She aims to close the gap between where people are and where they want to be through regular, individualized sessions.

Casey works in English and practices in Pennsylvania as an LPC (PA LPC PC010600).

How Casey’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. Sessions center on the parent or family member's experience so they feel heard and can notice their own strengths. This approach helps when someone needs practical support and a nonjudgmental space to talk.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often teach clear skills to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors at home. This is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleeping problems, and parenting patterns.

Motivational Interviewing helps people move past mixed feelings and find their own reasons to change. It works well when someone feels unsure about taking steps toward a goal and prefers small, sustainable shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Casey will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts plans as progress is reviewed and as family life changes.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular sessions. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone, live chat, and text messaging can fit busy days, quick check-ins, or families juggling schedules. These options make it easier to use therapy tools in real life and keep momentum between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
