About Robert
Robert "Pat" Casey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 40 years of experience. He works with people who face depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and relationship questions, and he lists social anxiety and phobia among his focus areas.
Pat keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He asks about what feels most difficult, listens to how daily life is affected, and helps people try small changes to notice different results. Conversations are paced so clients can think and respond without pressure.
He uses several familiar therapy approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and emotionally-focused techniques. That means sessions can include talking through thoughts and behaviors, practicing new ways of responding, and looking at feelings in close relationships.
With four decades of practice, Pat brings long experience working with grief, trauma and abuse, anger, parenting concerns, career stress, bipolar issues, ADHD, and life transitions. He also pays attention to issues like guilt, shame, intimacy-related worries, and phobias.
People who choose him should expect a direct, steady style that focuses on clear steps and practical coping. He asks clients to set goals and reviews progress together in regular sessions.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says, helping them clarify their own priorities and goals. Online sessions can use that same conversational style to help someone speak through worries about social situations and identify small next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions interact and adds practical exercises to test new behaviors. In an online session CBT can include reviewing situations that trigger anxiety, learning brief experiments to try between meetings, and tracking progress over time.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to feelings in close relationships and how those patterns affect current stress. Working together online, the therapist and client can notice interaction patterns and build different ways of responding in relationship concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Pat will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan with the client’s input so the sessions stay useful and manageable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so a meeting can happen between obligations.
