About Delainey

Delainey Casey is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She helps parents, children, and adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and life changes. Her background as a labor and bereavement doula informs her work with pregnancy, postpartum challenges, and infant loss.

Delainey brings a calm, practical presence to sessions and keeps language straightforward and approachable. She spent years supporting families in childbirth and loss before shifting into school-based mental health.

Background and approach

Delainey has worked as a co-located mental health counselor in both a high school and an elementary school. She is currently the School Behavioral Health Professional at an elementary school, where she supports youth and their families through behavioral and personal struggles. Delainey treats children of all ages and their families, and she also sees couples and individual adults.

Her clinical experience includes work with grief and loss, PTSD, autism, ADHD, stress, and anxiety. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps sessions concrete and goal-focused. The aim of her work is to help people build a more positive outlook and deepen self-awareness.

She focuses on practical steps clients can take between sessions. Delainey strives to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where people can talk through hard things and work toward achievable goals.

Evidence-based approaches and working online

Many of her interventions come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One approach emphasizes coping tools for anxiety and stress, teaching simple strategies to manage worry and reduce overwhelm in daily life. Another common method addresses family and relationship patterns, helping members improve communication and handle conflicts in clearer ways.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person or family to choose what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. This process may include trying a few techniques and adjusting as progress is made.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy families. These formats make it easier to meet at convenient times, follow up between sessions, and keep therapy consistent when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and resources to work well in each of these formats.
