Casey Overly , LPC-MHSP

Casey Overly is a direct, warm, and results-oriented counselor who blends research-backed strategies with an approachable, occasionally quirky sense of humor to help clients make meaningful change. She has worked in Intensive Outpatient settings as well as in private practice, bringing experience with a range of care environments to each therapeutic relationship. Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Casey uses evidence-based modalities that are tailored to each person's needs. As an LPC-MHSP, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider, she applies professional training to address emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns. Casey approaches therapy holistically, attending to body, mind, and spirit while prioritizing a supportive connection that helps clients feel understood and capable of pursuing their goals. Outside of the office, she enjoys long hikes, travel, spending time with her adult children, and spoiling her small white dog. Casey holds the view that life contains beauty, tragedy, wonder, and heartbreak, and she offers partnership so people do not have to navigate those experiences alone.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Casey uses several evidence-based techniques to help clients address stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and more. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it is commonly used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action; it can be helpful for stress, life purpose questions, and chronic emotional patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, making it useful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Casey works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan is adjusted over time as progress and priorities emerge.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and accessibility for people with busy lives or limited local options. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, focused care in ways that suit individual routines and communication preferences.
