Casey UngerLPC

Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades in mental health. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship or parenting concerns. People seeking practical, down-to-earth therapy often find her direct and approachable style easy to work with.

Casey draws heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which she uses to uncover unhelpful thought patterns and reframe them. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable steps that move a person toward clearer goals. Sessions begin with questions about a person’s background, beliefs, and what has shaped their reactions so a plan can be mapped out.

Her background includes public mental health, inpatient psychiatric work, diagnostics and assessment, crisis intervention, anger management, and employee assistance. That range gives her experience with complex situations and long-term difficulties as well as short-term goals. Casey says she often connects with people who feel marginalized, bullied, or overlooked.

She aims for frank, human conversations rather than clinical distance. Clients can expect thoughtful, analytical feedback and help spotting patterns that keep problems repeating. Casey also notes she has lived through trauma and a disaster, which informs her empathy and practical perspective.

Casey primarily provides individual counseling and asks prospective clients to message about scheduling needs. She does not take CVS/Aetna EAP clients because of a conflict of interest and is not offering couples counseling due to time constraints.

How Casey Uses Practical Approaches in Online Therapy

Casey often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking that lead to unwanted feelings and behaviors, then teaches ways to reframe those thoughts. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, concrete steps and building on strengths to reach clear goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Casey collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She asks about background, what has helped in the past, and what a successful outcome would look like, then tailors the plan accordingly.

The biography names telephonic and televideo therapy as formats she uses, and she aims to make these as personal as in-person sessions. If you prefer a particular way to meet, confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and lower travel time so appointments require less logistical planning.
