Kasey Hawkinson , LPC

Kasey Hawkinson is a licensed professional counselor with six years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and major life changes. She practices from Arizona and aims to create a calm, respectful space where each person’s strengths matter. Kasey approaches sessions with practical, down-to-earth conversation and clear goals.

Kasey centers the conversation on each person's story. She believes clients are the experts in their lives and uses that knowledge to shape treatment. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on steps a person can try between meetings.

Her work includes short-term tools and skills people can use right away. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals. Dialectical behavior ideas help with emotion regulation and coping when feelings run high.

Kasey also uses client-centered listening and motivational approaches to support readiness for change. That combination helps people who are grieving, facing relationship shifts, dealing with body image concerns, or managing life transitions. She has additional experience with aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and veteran and armed forces issues.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Kasey works with practical concerns like money stress, communication problems, pregnancy and childbirth, and self-love, helping people find manageable steps forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and accepting each person’s perspective so they feel heard and understood; it works well for people coping with grief, life changes, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and helps people try small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance in high-stress moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kasey will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and pace. Sessions often mix listening, practical skill practice, and short homework steps so people can test what helps between meetings.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have full conversation and visual cues while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, staying connected between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum during change.
