About Kasey
Kasey Polk is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and concerns such as addiction, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and issues around guilt and shame.
She also helps people who struggle with ADHD, attachment issues, chronic illness or pain, domestic violence, and mood disorders. Her day-to-day work includes supporting those affected by sexual assault, self-harm urges, and post-traumatic stress. Kasey lists LGBT concerns among her practice areas and includes compassion fatigue and forgiveness in her focus areas.
Kasey draws on several practical therapies in session. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills, values-based choices, and slowing down unhelpful thoughts.
In meetings she treats the person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations can include practicing coping skills, noticing patterns in thinking and behavior, and deciding what matters most to the client. She works with trauma-informed methods when that history is present.
People who come for help with guilt and shame often look at what those feelings mean and how they affect daily life. Kasey works with those experiences alongside other concerns such as grief, relationship trouble, and recovery from past harm. The aim is to clarify values and try new ways of responding to painful thoughts and memories.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts, name what matters to them, and take small steps toward those values. That approach is often useful for guilt, shame, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and mood issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills and can be useful when strong emotions or impulsive behavior are a concern.Figuring out which approach fits is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches based on what helps most in practice.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their usual surroundings and focus on practical tools during and between sessions.
