About Casey
Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience in mental health care. She focuses on practical help for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting issues, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges.
In a first session she asks clear questions to understand who a person is and what shaped their beliefs. The goal is to map a path forward that feels doable and concrete.
Background and approach
Casey trained in environments ranging from public mental health to inpatient psychiatric settings. She has also worked in assessments, crisis intervention, anger management, and employee assistance. Her background gives her experience noticing patterns and connecting events to behavior and feelings.
Her main clinical tools include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thought patterns, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, practical changes. She blends these approaches with a direct, approachable style so people can learn to reframe thinking and take steady steps toward their goals.
Casey says she understands what it feels like to be marginalized or overlooked, and she often connects well with people who feel thrown away or hard to reach. She aims to be down-to-earth in sessions and treats clients as equals rather than authority figures. She offers telephonic and televideo sessions and works to make remote care feel as personal as in-person meetings.
Note that she provides individual counseling only and does not accept clients through CVS/Aetna EAP because of a conflict of interest.
Approach-driven care you can access remotely
Casey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in remote sessions. CBT helps people notice and change the automatic negative thoughts that fuel anxiety, depression, or unhelpful reactions. It is useful when someone wants concrete tools to reframe thinking and change behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and existing strengths, aiming to create forward momentum quickly and build on what already works.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they test methods and adjust the plan so the work fits the client’s life and needs rather than following a fixed script.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging can help keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent contact and to try strategies in real life while getting timely feedback.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
