Casey Sbat, LPC

Casey Sbat is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, grief, and changes in mood. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Casey aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear for someone who may be worried or unsure about therapy.

Casey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also draws on client-centered work to follow the client's pace and priorities. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when clients feel stuck or unsure about change.

Her experience includes clinical roles in emergency departments, schools, outpatient settings, and residential treatment. That variety shaped the way she responds in crisis and supports steady progress over time. Casey has worked with concerns like trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, among others.

Sessions focus on concrete skills and small experiments people can try between meetings. She emphasizes strengths, resilience, and goals rather than just problems. Cases are approached step by step, so people can notice gradual improvement in sleep, relationships, mood, or daily functioning.

Casey practices in Pennsylvania and conducts therapy in English. She offers multiple online ways to meet and helps people choose what fits their life and schedule.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Casey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try out new behaviors. CBT often focuses on practical exercises and short experiments that fit well into online sessions and between-session work.

She also practices client-centered therapy, which means the sessions follow what the person brings and move at their pace. This approach makes it easier to build trust and set goals together through conversation, whether by video or messaging.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative effort. Casey will work with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences and will adjust the plan over time as progress is made.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and skill practice, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, quick check-ins work well by live chat, and text messaging lets people send updates or ask brief questions between sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity across weeks.
