Casey Unger, LPC

Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience in mental health. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, depression, or life changes. She also supports those facing addiction, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and relationship or family concerns.

Casey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, practical steps toward better days. In the first session she asks questions to understand a persons history, beliefs, and what they want to change.

Her background includes public mental health, inpatient psychiatric settings, diagnostics and assessment, crisis intervention, anger management, and employee assistance. She has worked with people who are often overlooked, bullied, or marginalized and says she does well reaching those others have struggled to help.

Casey describes herself as analytical and attentive to patterns. She aims to help clients identify where their habits started and to learn ways to reframe their thinking. She also says surviving personal trauma and disaster informs her empathy and perspective.

She keeps a down-to-earth style in session and focuses on practical conversation rather than jargon. Casey offers telephonic and televideo appointments and asks people to message if they need alternative scheduling due to her other roles.

How Casey uses therapy approaches in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs space to talk through emotions and make their own sense of things. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical ways to reframe thinking and change behavior; its useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and what the client already does that works, which can speed up progress on specific problems.

Casey approaches the choice of method collaboratively. She will talk with a client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust based on how the work is going. Finding the right mix of methods is treated as part of the therapy process rather than a one-time decision.

The profile notes that Casey offers telephonic and televideo therapy. If you want different session options, confirm the current formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find remote sessions help keep continuity of care during health or scheduling challenges, while still focusing on concrete steps and thinking patterns that lead to change.
