About Casey
Casey Barber is an AASW social worker with more than 15 years of professional experience in clinical and community settings. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, parenting strains, self-esteem and relationship problems. Casey also supports people facing career transitions, addictions and feelings of guilt and shame.
Casey draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and a client-centred approach. She focuses on helping people notice unhelpful patterns, clarify what matters to them, and practise manageable steps that align with their values. Conversations are practical and paced to each person’s readiness.
In sessions she brings strengths-based thinking and elements of attachment work to help with relationship patterns and caregiving stress. That can involve talking through how early connections influence current behaviour, and trying different ways of relating in everyday life. Motivational interviewing appears when people want to change addictive behaviours or build motivation for repair.
She aims to make sessions straightforward. People can expect clear ideas to try between meetings and gentle feedback on progress. Casey keeps language direct and avoids clinical jargon so it is easier to apply ideas at home or work.
Her experience spans individual counselling for personal, family and work-related concerns. If someone is carrying guilt or shame about past actions, identity, faith, or family, Casey offers a steady, practical way to untangle those feelings and explore next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can be used to practise these small, real-world steps and to review what worked between meetings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and for shifting routines that keep guilt or shame active.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape present behaviour. Online conversations can map those patterns and try different ways of relating in everyday life, such as communication or boundary experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Casey will discuss which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences and adapt sessions collaboratively. This means trying an approach and adjusting it based on what helps most.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time that interrupts work or caregiving. Those practical benefits often help people keep momentum while they try new ways of thinking and acting.
