About Casey

Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years in the mental health field. She lists stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, career, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD among the areas she works with.

She has a long history across public mental health, inpatient psychiatric care, private practice, diagnostics and assessment, crisis intervention, anger management, and employee assistance work. That range means she often meets people who feel unseen, bullied, marginalized, or hard to reach by other services.

Casey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary approach to identify negative thought patterns and unconscious schemas. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to set practical steps and build momentum toward client goals. Sessions begin with questions about background, beliefs, and current concerns so she can map out a plan together.

She makes telephonic and televideo therapy part of her practice and aims to make remote sessions as personal as face-to-face work. Casey describes herself as analytical and direct, helping clients spot patterns and develop skills to reframe thoughts over time.

She notes a practical boundary: she provides individual counseling only and does not take clients through CVS/Aetna EAP due to a conflict of interest. If posted hours do not fit, she asks prospective clients to message about alternate times.

How Casey uses evidence-based approaches online

Casey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the thoughts that shape feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to reframe unhelpful thinking. It can help with anxiety, negative self-beliefs, and mood patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete steps clients can take now to move toward their goals and reduce immediate distress.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. She will ask questions about your situation, goals, and preferences and then recommend a path that combines methods as needed. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they fit the problems you bring and the pace you want.

Her profile notes telephonic and televideo therapy as part of her practice. If session formats are important to you, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, reduce the technical needs of video by using a phone call, and let people keep appointments without traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and solution-focused tools to these formats to work on thought patterns, behavioral experiments, and practical next steps.
