About Casey
Casey Barber is an AASW social worker with 15 years of experience in clinical and community settings. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, parenting challenges, motivation difficulties, low self-esteem and career concerns. Casey also supports those coping with addictions and relationship problems.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas and client-centred ways of working. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps. Casey helps people clarify what matters to them and build psychological flexibility to act on those values.
In conversation she uses plain language and practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and motivational interviewing. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking, trying small behavioural changes, or clarifying steps to rebuild confidence. She also attends to how early relationships and attachment patterns affect current choices and relationships.
People who come for help with parenting or caregiver stress find she pays attention to day-to-day demands. Work with her often includes setting realistic goals, practising communication skills and naming boundaries. The work is collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.
Casey’s background includes postgraduate counselling study alongside her social work credential. She has worked across health, community services and clinical environments, bringing plain spoken guidance and practical strategies to help people move forward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful for feelings of emptiness, low motivation and uncertainty about next steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication styles; this can help with relationship strain, codependency or commitment worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, actions and feelings and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low self-esteem and addictive behaviours.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Casey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean emphasising values-based ACT work first, then adding CBT tasks or attachment-focused conversations as needed.
