About Casey

Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three decades of experience in mental health. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. Sessions begin with simple conversation so clients know what to expect and to help Casey understand a person’s history and goals.

Casey has worked across public mental health, private practice, inpatient psychiatry, diagnostics and assessment, crisis intervention, anger management, and employee assistance programs. Her practice emphasizes noticing common thought patterns that get in the way of daily life. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful beliefs and Solution-Focused Therapy to build practical next steps.

In sessions she asks questions to learn where beliefs and patterns started and how they show up now. She explains how to reframe thinking and practice new responses so people can manage problems more independently. She aims to be approachable and down-to-earth rather than distant or superior.

Casey describes herself as analytical and able to spot patterns that others miss. She says surviving her own trauma and a disaster informs her compassion for people who feel marginalized, bullied, or discarded. That lived experience shapes how she connects with people who have struggled to find help elsewhere.

Therapy is offered as individual counseling only. Times can be limited because of other roles Casey holds, but she invites clients to message about alternative scheduling. People covered by CVS/Aetna EAP should choose another clinician due to a conflict of interest.

Approaches that translate to online work

Casey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting negative thought patterns and learning concrete ways to reframe them, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday habits. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and goals that build momentum, useful for people who want clear actions to change daily routines or cope with life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Casey will ask about your goals, what has and hasn't helped before, and how you prefer to work. Together you can test approaches and adjust the plan so it fits your needs and pace rather than committing to one method up front.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is offering care. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into busy schedules, makes shorter check-ins easier during a workday break, and removes travel time from the routine. Casey intends to make telephonic and televideo sessions as personal as face-to-face care, and she will help match structure and frequency to your life and goals.
