Casey Unger , LPC

Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of experience in mental health. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, depression, or low self-esteem. Many come for help with relationship struggles, trauma, grief, parenting strain, or addictive behaviors. Casey offers direct, practical support aimed at small steps forward.

Casey has worked across public mental health, inpatient psychiatric settings, crisis intervention, diagnostics and assessment, and private practice. She has long experience supporting people with severe and complex needs as well as those facing everyday life changes. Her background includes anger management and employee assistance work, which shaped a straightforward therapeutic style.

Her work often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and show how thoughts shape behavior. Casey also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete goals and build on what is already working. Sessions focus on clear strategies you can try between meetings.

In the first session she asks questions to learn where you come from and what has shaped your beliefs. From there she and the client map out practical steps toward change. She describes herself as approachable, down-to-earth, and analytical, often noticing patterns others miss.

Casey is based in Texas and provides individual counseling only. She says telephonic and televideo sessions can be as personal as in-person meetings and aims to be responsive to client needs. If scheduling is tight, she asks people to message her about alternate times.

How Casey Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Casey often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts that keep them stuck. CBT breaks down situations into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple experiments to test new ways of thinking. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable goals and to build on existing strengths and successes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Casey will ask about your goals, your everyday routines, and what has and hasn’t worked before. Together you and she will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what fits your needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, so therapy can fit into busy lives. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, quick skill practice, or when you need flexibility during the day. These options make it easier to keep consistent work on goals while balancing other responsibilities.
