Casey Unger, LPC

Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a direct, down-to-earth manner. She focuses on stress and anxiety alongside related issues like anger, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. Casey aims to help people who feel marginalized or overlooked find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

She brings three decades of experience in mental health, including public mental health, inpatient psychiatric work, crisis intervention, and private practice. That background shapes a practical style. In early sessions she asks questions to learn who a person is, what shaped their beliefs, and what patterns keep causing pain.

Casey often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the thoughts that lead to upsetting feelings and habits. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete steps toward change. Her work emphasizes helping clients notice thinking patterns, reframe them, and build skills to manage everyday stressors.

She says sessions are conversational and straightforward. Clients can expect a clinician who is analytical, attentive, and willing to point out patterns they might not see. She aims to be approachable and responsive, and she frames therapy as a collaborative effort.

Casey offers telephonic and televideo options and intends to make remote sessions feel as personal as in-person work. She only provides individual counseling and cannot accept CVS/Aetna EAP clients because of a conflict of interest. Scheduling may be limited due to other professional roles, but she will try to accommodate alternative times when possible.

How Casey’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Casey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify the thoughts that drive anxious or unhelpful behaviors. It focuses on noticing those patterns and practicing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which narrows attention to small, realistic changes that move a person toward their goals. This approach is goal-oriented and often includes brief, concrete steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Casey will ask about your needs, goals, and what feels doable for you. She helps choose or mix methods based on what you want to change and how you prefer to work, treating the plan as a collaborative process.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session types are currently offered before booking. The biography mentions telephonic and televideo sessions, and Casey aims to make those feel as personal as face-to-face meetings. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so you can use a break from work or home responsibilities more efficiently.
