About Casey
Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 30 years of experience in mental health. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, trauma, grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related issues. Casey often supports people facing anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and the effects of being marginalized or mistreated.
She has worked across public mental health, private practice, inpatient psychiatric settings, diagnostics and assessment, crisis intervention, anger management, and employee assistance programs. That range informs a direct, practical approach to everyday problems. In a first session she asks focused questions to learn where a person comes from and what has shaped their beliefs and reactions.
Casey favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for identifying negative thought patterns and helping people reframe them. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy and draws on Motivational Interviewing and client-centered principles as needed. Sessions emphasize noticing patterns, understanding how they formed, and developing ways to shift them.
She describes herself as analytical and hands-on about spotting recurring patterns in behavior. Her background includes work with people others have struggled to reach, and she reports personal experience of trauma and disaster that informs her perspective. Casey aims to be approachable and responsive in sessions.
Casey offers individual counseling only and cannot accept clients through CVS/Aetna EAP due to a conflict of interest. If scheduled hours are not suitable she asks prospective clients to message and discuss alternative times.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Casey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change negative thought patterns. CBT sessions typically involve identifying automatic thoughts, testing them against reality, and practicing new thinking that supports different actions. That approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday coping challenges.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, practical steps that move a person toward clear goals. Those sessions tend to focus on what is already working and how to build on it, which can be helpful for relationship and parenting concerns and for coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Casey will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they decide which methods to try. She adapts techniques as progress becomes clear and checks in about what feels most helpful.
