Her background also includes attention to ADHD, compassion fatigue, attachment issues, chronic pain and illness, and other co-occurring conditions.

Kasey emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, guiding individuals as they take steps toward healthier patterns and more meaningful goals.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building willingness to accept difficult experiences while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive or self-harming behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting methods over time so care aligns with what helps the individual most effectively.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, practice skills between appointments, and stay connected when in-person visits are not feasible. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care and support progress toward therapeutic goals.
