About Robert
Robert "Pat" Casey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 40 years of experience. He helps people who are stressed, dealing with anxiety, or facing depression. He also supports those coping with grief, parenting strain, anger, and issues like phobias and social anxiety.
Pat focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings. He aims to make each session practical and straightforward.
Background and approach
Conversations look at what is happening now and what small steps can reduce distress. His approach draws on several counseling methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.
Client-centered work gives the client control of the pace and focus of therapy. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through strong emotions. Pat also brings experience with psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques to help people find meaning and set clear goals.
Sessions often mix short-term strategies with deeper reflection when useful. He supports clients pursuing changes in career direction, managing ADHD challenges, and wrestling with guilt or self-esteem concerns. People can expect a calm, steady presence and practical ideas to try between sessions.
The emphasis is on collaboration - setting clear goals and checking progress. Pat encourages small experiments that build confidence and reduce fear of everyday situations.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and feelings. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client's lead to help them feel heard and understood. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to sort through emotions or make sense of a difficult situation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses exercises and experiments to test new thinking and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, tackle phobias, and improve mood. CBT sessions tend to be structured and task-focused, which works well in short online or phone meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match goals, comfort level, and the issues at hand. That collaboration means trying things out and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and have longer, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or notes between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and daily life.
