About Casey
Casey Barber is an AASW social worker with 15 years of experience supporting people through stressful life challenges. She works calmly and plainly, helping clients talk through anxiety, parenting strain, relationship problems and career worries. Casey aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful.
Casey uses clear, practical tools rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what matters to each person - values, choices and small changes that add up.
Background and approach
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. That means listening for what’s already working, and building on those skills.
Casey also uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches when those fit the situation. People come for help with self-esteem, motivation, addiction and family problems as well as body image, caregiver stress and communication issues. She supports practical goals such as improving confidence, managing emotions, and finding clearer direction at work or home.
Casey invites clients to set the pace and focus. She offers straightforward strategies alongside conversations that make sense of life events. If someone wants a therapist who balances warmth with practical steps, Casey aims to provide that support.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Casey commonly uses Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves so they can see choices and possibilities. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when thoughts or feelings are difficult.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. You can expect this to be a collaborative conversation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Check the platform to confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example keeping appointments during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. They also allow for a steady rhythm of check-ins and practical homework between meetings, which many people find helpful when working through anxiety, parenting strain or career decisions.
