About Casey
Casey Barber is an AASW social worker with 15 years of experience working in Australian clinical and community settings. She helps people manage stress and anxiety and supports those dealing with family and parenting concerns. Casey also works with issues around self-esteem, career choices, addictions and relationship problems.
Her practice is practical and goal-focused. She uses methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try different ways of responding. Sessions often involve setting small steps, practising new skills and reviewing what worked between meetings.
Casey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. She aims to help people clarify values, build psychological flexibility and change patterns that get in the way of daily life. Motivational interviewing may be used when people want help with substance use or motivation to change.
She has worked across hospitals, community services and counselling programs over her career. That variety means she is used to practical problems such as caregiving stress, fertility-related strain, workplace pressures and family conflict.
Casey conducts sessions in English and works with people living in Australia. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Casey uses CBT, ACT and attachment work in online sessions
Casey commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-based ideas. CBT focuses on noticing clear thoughts and behaviours that cause difficulty, then trying concrete alternatives. It suits problems like anxiety, unhelpful routines and low mood. ACT emphasises clarifying what matters to you and practising small actions that align with those values, which can help with motivation and ongoing stress. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current trust and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Casey will talk with each person about goals, daily demands and what methods feel practical. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them based on what helps in real life. This keeps sessions focused and action-oriented rather than theoretical.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Casey aims to work in ways that fit everyday life and will discuss how to structure sessions to suit work, caregiving or other routines.
