Casey Unger, LPC

Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three decades of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and parenting strain. Casey aims to be approachable and down-to-earth while helping people find practical ways to feel better.

Her main way of working uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions begin with questions about history, beliefs, and current struggles so a clear plan can be made together.

Casey has worked across public mental health, inpatient psychiatric settings, crisis intervention, diagnostics and assessment, anger management, and employee assistance programs. That mix of settings shaped her skill at recognizing patterns and putting together a treatment path that fits each person. She describes herself as analytical and good at seeing connections others miss.

She is particularly skilled at reaching people who feel marginalized, bullied, or dismissed by others. Casey draws on her own experience of surviving trauma and disaster to empathize with people whose lives were suddenly upended. She focuses on helping clients reframe thoughts and build tools to manage symptoms and move forward.

Casey provides individual counseling only. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for clients in Texas, and conducts sessions in English.

Practical approaches you can use online

Casey works mainly with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of thinking and behaving, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and next steps, helping people set clear, small goals and notice progress quickly.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Casey will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan as sessions progress so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. Video calls let people use visual cues and more natural conversation. Phone sessions can be a better fit when someone has limited bandwidth or prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and flexible touchpoints between longer sessions.
