Casey Overly, LPC-MHSP

Casey Overly is a direct, warm, and results-oriented counselor based in Tennessee who brings four years of clinical experience to her practice. She holds the LPC-MHSP credential - a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider - and has worked in both Intensive Outpatient settings and private practice, giving her experience with a range of care needs and client goals.

Trained in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), she combines research-proven techniques with a personable style and a dash of quirky humor. Her work addresses the whole person - body, mind, and spirit - and focuses on measurable progress while honoring each client’s individual story. Casey specializes in stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and ADHD, and she also supports clients dealing with caregiver stress, communication challenges, divorce and separation, impulsivity, and panic attacks among other issues.

She believes the most effective therapy comes from a strong therapeutic connection and a sense of being supported. Outside of her clinical work, Casey enjoys long hikes, travel, spending time with her adult children, and spoiling her little white dog, and she aims to help clients navigate life’s beautiful, tragic, magical, and heartbreaking moments without facing them alone.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, stress, panic symptoms, and difficulties with mood or self-esteem. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on increasing psychological flexibility by helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committed action - this approach can be especially helpful for managing anxiety, life transitions, and issues with avoidance. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness - it can support clients struggling with impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Casey collaborates with each client to determine which techniques best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds to create a personalized plan for change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care from wherever the client is, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and skills that fit into everyday life.
