Practitioner record · Checked 7 Nov 2026
Casey Unger has been in practice 30 years and is licensed in Texas. Casey lists stress, Anxiety, anger management and self esteem among 51 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Casey's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Casey works with
Casey lists 16 specialisms and 35 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Casey chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Casey's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am Casey , Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been in the mental health field since 1994 and licensed since 2002.
My experience ranges from working with the chronically mentally ill in public mental health, private practice, inpatient psychiatric, diagnostics/assessment, crisis intervention, anger management, and employee assistance.
My primary approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and the effectiveness it has in pointing out negative thought patterns. I also love to use Solution-Focused Therapy as well.
Through CBT I can help you see unconscious schemas that are leading you to do what you do, where they came from, how they developed, and ultimately how to become your own therapist reframing and moving forward on your own.
I love working with all individuals but feel that I have a specific skill in understanding people who feel thrown away, bullied, and/or marginalized in society. Historically, I have always done very well with people that no one else seems to be able to help or reach.
In your first session you can expect to have me ask questions of you so I can understand who you are, where you come from, what has shaped your beliefs and perceptions, and to ultimately plot a course for something better.
Most people are nervous and do not know what to expect so what I will say is we will just talk. While I do happen to be licensed, I am human, equal, and not above anyone.
I will make telephonic/televideo therapy every bit as personal as face to face.
I am also very analytical and able to see/put together patterns, diagnoses, and have an excellent ability to "turn on the windshield wipers in the rain" for my clients.
As a result of surviving my own trauma as well as being a survivor of a disaster, I realize that one event in anyone's lives can reverse the side of the desk they are sitting on.
There is always that one event(s) that can put the counselor into the position of the client as well and shows our vulnerability as humans.
I make it a point to come across as approachable and not superior and I am very responsive to my clients. .
PLEASE NOTE: I have other roles that I work around so the times on my schedule seem limited. However, if there is another time you need to be seen please message me and we will work something out.
Second, If you are covered under CVS/Aetna EAP then please choose another therapist as I am unable to accept these clients due to a conflict of interest.
And finally, due to time constraints, I am only doing individual counseling and not couple's counseling.

03 · How Casey works
These are the clinical methods Casey lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Casey's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Casey runs a session.
04 · What happens next
Casey practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Casey's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Casey at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Casey is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Casey.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
05 · Before you commit
Built from what Casey actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Casey's - Casey has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”
Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“With 30 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”
Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
