Casey Unger, LPC

Casey Unger is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked in the mental health field since 1994 and has held her license since 2002. She brings decades of experience across public mental health, private practice, inpatient psychiatric settings, diagnostics and assessment, crisis intervention, anger management, and employee assistance. Casey’s clinical work emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a method that helps people identify and reframe negative thought patterns - alongside Solution-Focused Therapy to build practical steps toward change.

Casey helps clients uncover underlying schemas that influence behavior, trace where those patterns began, and develop skills to become their own advocate for change. She has particular skill supporting people who feel marginalized, bullied, or cast aside, and she often connects with individuals who have not found help elsewhere. In initial sessions she asks focused questions to understand a person’s background, beliefs, and goals, then collaborates on a clear plan for moving forward.

Telephonic and televideo sessions are offered with the same intention and personal attention as in-person care. She describes her style as analytical and pragmatic - able to recognize patterns, make diagnostic sense when needed, and provide practical tools that help clients navigate difficult moments. A survivor of trauma and disaster herself, Casey draws on lived experience to relate to clients who have faced sudden life changes.

She aims to be approachable and down-to-earth, and she responds to scheduling needs when possible. Prospective clients should note that she cannot accept individuals covered under CVS/Aetna EAP due to a conflict of interest, and she is currently focused on individual counseling rather than couples work.
