Robert "Pat" Casey, LPC

Robert "Pat" Casey helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, or big life changes. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - with four decades of experience and a straightforward, calm approach. He aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and clear.

In sessions he creates a space where people can speak honestly about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Conversations are practical and focused on what matters most to the client. He listens, reflects, and works with each person to set achievable goals.

Pat uses a mix of approaches to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Client-centered methods keep the client's experience central, while solution-focused ideas help find concrete next steps. He also draws on emotionally focused and psychodynamic perspectives when emotions or past patterns need attention.

Parents who are stressed or exhausted can talk about everyday pressures and parenting strains. People facing career decisions, intimacy concerns, or struggles with mood find help organizing choices and coping strategies. He supports those dealing with trauma, grief, or challenges like ADHD and bipolar concerns by tailoring the pace and focus of work to each person.

Appointments are arranged to fit individual schedules. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical tools that can be used between sessions. Pat encourages people to try a few different strategies and then choose what feels most helpful.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include talking through patterns, trying small experiments between sessions, and tracking changes over time. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and emphasizes being heard; online sessions use gentle listening and reflection to help people clarify what they want and why it matters.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills from CBT, the acceptance and listening of client-centered work, or other techniques to address emotions and past patterns.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is low or a quieter audio-only check-in fits a schedule. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or when shorter, written exchanges are easier to manage. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to try approaches that work best for each person.
