Casey Unger, LPC

Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who has worked in the mental health field since 1994 and has held a professional license since 2002. Her career spans public mental health, private practice, inpatient psychiatric care, diagnostics and assessment, crisis intervention, anger management programs, and employee assistance services. She brings experience working with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other challenges that affect daily functioning.

Casey’s primary clinical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which she uses to help clients recognize negative thought patterns and unconscious schemas, understand where those patterns originated, and develop skills to reframe thinking and change behavior. She also frequently uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people set clear goals and build practical steps toward improvement. Her style is analytical and pattern-oriented, aimed at helping clients see connections in their histories and learn tools to become more self-directed in coping and decision making.

Known for reaching clients who feel marginalized, overlooked, or difficult to engage, Casey combines professional training with personal insight, including having survived trauma and a disaster. In an initial session she asks focused questions to understand a person’s background, beliefs, and goals and then collaborates on a course of action. She makes telephonic and televideo therapy as personal as face-to-face work, strives to be approachable and responsive, and will accommodate scheduling needs when possible. She cannot accept CVS/Aetna EAP clients due to a conflict of interest, currently provides individual counseling only, and does not work with international clients.
