About Robert

Robert "Pat" Casey provides straightforward, practical support for people who are worried about stress, anxiety, parenting, and other life pressures. He speaks plainly and creates a calm space where clients can name problems and try new ways of handling them. Pat is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with four decades of experience in Texas.

He focuses on helping people move toward clearer choices and steadier days. Pat builds sessions around what matters most to the person in front of him.

Background and approach

He listens first, then works together with clients to set small, usable goals. That might mean practicing new ways to respond to anger, learning tools for anxiety, or talking through grief and relationship strains. Many clients find concrete strategies helpful, so Pat draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.

He also uses client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead and emotionally-focused strategies when relationship patterns are causing pain. Over 40 years Pat has worked across a wide range of concerns including parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, self-esteem, and career stress. He also offers support for ADHD, social phobia, and the shame and guilt that often follow difficult events.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted online using video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect a person to a schedule that fits their life.

Approaches that fit online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist creates space for people to say what matters to them and helps clarify next steps, which works well for parenting worries and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and practical behaviors. It helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, try new responses, and build habits that reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy zeroes in on how feelings shape relationships and closeness. It can help when intimacy issues, family tensions, or grief make connection difficult.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

Online sessions use video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments, practice skills between meetings, and get support when life feels busy or overwhelming.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
