About Casey

Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years in the mental health field. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and other life changes.

Casey has worked across public mental health, inpatient psychiatric settings, crisis intervention, diagnostics and assessment, employee assistance, and private practice. She has experience with anger management and with people who feel marginalized or unheard. Her background includes work with chronic mental illness as well as short-term and longer-term clinical care.

Her primary methods are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. Casey uses CBT to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns, trace where those ways of thinking began, and learn skills to reframe thoughts and respond differently. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear goals and identify small practical steps forward.

In a first session she asks questions to understand your history, beliefs, and what has shaped your reactions. Sessions are conversational and direct; she aims to be approachable and practical rather than formal. She describes herself as analytical and skilled at identifying patterns that can be changed.

Casey offers telephonic and televideo sessions and intends to make them as personal as face-to-face meetings. She does individual counseling only and cannot accept clients through CVS/Aetna EAP because of a conflict of interest. If scheduled times do not fit, she asks prospective clients to message her to explore alternatives.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

Casey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts that lead to reactive behavior and strong emotions. It is often used for anger, anxiety, and depression by teaching practical thought-reframing and coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear goals and small steps that move a person toward concrete improvements, useful when someone wants short-term progress on specific problems.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and what they want to address. That collaborative process helps shape session plans and the kinds of exercises or reflections that will be used between meetings.

The biography notes she provides telephonic and televideo sessions and aims to make those sessions as personal as face-to-face meetings. If you are unsure which session style would fit your routine, confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time while keeping the focus on practical problem-solving and skill practice.
