About Casey
Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She has worked in mental health since 1994 and brings a calm, direct style to sessions. People meet her and talk about what matters most to them, then shape small goals together.
She uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to point out the thoughts that drive behavior. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear, short-term goals and notice progress quickly.
Background and approach
Casey also draws on Motivational Interviewing when clients want help finding motivation to change habits or address addictions. Her background includes public mental health, inpatient psychiatric work, diagnostics and assessment, crisis intervention, and employee assistance. That range has given her experience with depression, trauma and abuse, grief, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness concerns.
She also supports people facing relationship problems, career changes, parenting strain, and intimacy-related issues. Casey describes herself as analytical and practical. In early sessions she asks questions to understand a person's history, beliefs, and current struggles, then helps map a path forward.
She often helps people recognize patterns and reframe unhelpful thoughts so they can move ahead with greater control. She provides therapy by video call, phone, live chat, and messaging, and works with individual clients only. Casey is based in Texas and is a Texas LPC with three decades of experience.
How Casey uses practical approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady, empathic space to talk through feelings and identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches simple exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose whether to lean more on CBT, solution-focused techniques, or motivational interviewing to match what the client wants to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and messaging let people send updates between appointments or check in when a brief conversation helps. These options support flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
