About Casey
Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades in mental health. She focuses on parents who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or stuck. Conversations are straightforward and practical, and she aims to make therapy feel like a real discussion rather than a performance.
Casey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thought patterns that keep them stuck. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals so progress can be seen quickly.
Background and approach
Sessions invite questions and give concrete steps to try between meetings. Her background includes public mental health, inpatient psychiatric settings, crisis intervention, diagnostics and assessment, anger management, and employee assistance work. That experience shaped a practical, observant style that looks for patterns and workable changes.
She mentions surviving personal trauma and a disaster, which informs her perspective and empathy. In an initial session she will ask about where someone comes from, what shaped their beliefs, and what they want to change. The aim is to map a path forward and build skills people can use on their own.
She describes herself as approachable and responsive, and she makes phone and video sessions feel as personal as face-to-face meetings. Casey practices in Texas and holds a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She offers individual counseling only and cannot accept clients through CVS/Aetna employee assistance programs due to a conflict of interest.
Scheduling may be flexible if standard times do not fit.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and supported while they identify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to challenge negative thinking and try new behaviors. These methods are often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and parenting-related struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT exercises, adding solution-focused steps for quick wins, or spending more time listening to shape a plan together.
Online formats offer practical benefits for busy parents and caregivers. Video calls let participants maintain face-to-face interaction without travel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing reflections, and reminders between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and help keep momentum toward goals.
