About Casey

Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades in mental health care. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, codependency, addiction, or grief. Casey writes and talks plainly, and she aims to make the first session feel like a conversation rather than an exam.

Casey began working in the field in 1994 and earned licensure in 2002. Her background includes public mental health, inpatient psychiatry, crisis intervention, diagnostics and assessment, anger management, and employee assistance. She brings practical experience from many settings to each session.

Her primary tools include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She uses these approaches to help people notice negative thought patterns, trace where they came from, and move toward clearer choices. Sessions focus on learning to reframe thoughts and build skills that carry into everyday life.

Casey says she connects well with people who feel marginalized, bullied, or dismissed. She describes herself as analytical and direct, able to spot patterns and make practical plans. Her style aims to be approachable and equal rather than authoritative.

In the first meeting she will ask questions to understand a person’s history, beliefs, and current struggles, then map out steps forward. She offers telephonic and televideo options and expects to adapt scheduling when needed, with the note that she does not provide couples counseling and cannot accept CVS/Aetna EAP cases.

How Casey Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Casey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking. CBT involves identifying automatic thoughts, testing them, and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to find practical steps that move a person toward their goals; this approach looks for small, achievable changes that can add up fast.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Casey treats the choice as a collaboration - she listens to a person's goals, discusses options, and adapts methods as needed. Together they decide which tools will help most for the issues at hand.

Casey offers telephonic and televideo sessions and says she makes those formats feel as personal as in-person care. If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, and use shorter check-ins when needed while still focusing on practical skill building and thought work.
