Casey Unger, LPC

Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a long history in the mental health field, working with clients since 1994 and licensed to practice since 2002 as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. Over a three-decade career, she has developed experience across public mental health, private practice, inpatient psychiatric care, diagnostics and assessment, crisis intervention, anger management, and employee assistance programs.

Her primary clinical tools include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which she uses to help people identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes practical steps toward change. Through CBT she assists clients in recognizing long-standing schemas, tracing their origins, and building the skills to reframe thoughts and move forward with greater independence.

Casey is known for her analytical approach and her ability to detect patterns that may be contributing to a client’s distress. She often works effectively with people who feel marginalized, bullied, or discarded by others and reports success with clients who have not responded well to other approaches. Her professional style is intended to be approachable and egalitarian - she emphasizes responsiveness and clear communication with those she works with.

Her practice has been informed by personal experience with trauma and disaster, a perspective she draws on to empathize with clients who have faced similar events. She intends to make telephonic and televideo sessions feel as personal as face-to-face work and brings assessment skills that support clear diagnostic thinking and practical coping strategies.

Please note that Casey balances multiple professional roles and so has limited availability. She is not able to accept CVS/Aetna EAP clients due to a conflict of interest. Additionally, she provides individual counseling only and is not offering couples therapy. Casey is not accepting new clients at this time.
