Casey Sbat is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who provides online counseling. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and criminal justice and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and she applies that training across a range of care settings.

Casey began her work in mental health supporting children and families in home-based services and later worked as a crisis intervention specialist in emergency room settings, where she assessed and supported people during acute crises. She has delivered counseling in emergency room, outpatient, community, school, and residential treatment environments, offering individual, family, and group services as well as crisis intervention.

She has experience helping children and adults facing diverse challenges, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD and trauma, conduct and adjustment disorders, grief and loss, parenting and relationship difficulties, anger and stress management, sleep concerns, ADHD, career issues, and compassion fatigue. Casey draws primarily on cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and she uses motivational interviewing to explore ambivalence and build motivation for change. She emphasizes a strengths-based, goal-oriented approach that highlights resilience and practical coping skills.

Casey aims to help people narrow the gap between where they are and where they want to be by supporting short- and long-term goals through individualized therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Casey commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, and it can be useful for concerns such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation.

She also applies motivational interviewing, a collaborative method that explores ambivalence and strengthens a person’s own motivation to make changes. This approach is often helpful when clients feel uncertain about taking steps forward or want support building readiness for change.

Mindfulness-based techniques are incorporated as well to help people increase present-moment awareness, reduce stress, and improve emotional regulation. These strategies can support coping with life transitions, stress, and ongoing anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Casey works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as goals evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Clients can meet by video call or phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging for more immediate or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
