Background and approach
Casey moved into crisis work and spent several years as a Crisis Intervention Specialist in emergency room settings before completing a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Her career includes roles in outpatient, school, residential, and community settings where she provided individual and group counseling and crisis support.
Casey relies on practical methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals. Client-centered principles guide sessions so the person’s priorities lead the work.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar mood patterns, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, anger, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. Casey emphasizes strengths and resilience when planning steps forward, keeping goals realistic and measurable. Sessions are offered online and designed to help people bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be.
Casey encourages honest conversation, steady progress, and practical skills people can use outside of sessions.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first and guides how sessions are structured, helping people choose goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then testing small changes to shift those patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve sleep by building awareness of the present moment.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to test methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Together the person and therapist decide which techniques to keep, modify, or set aside as goals evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress between sessions, or when a written note feels easier than speaking.
