Casey Barber

Casey Barber is an AASW social worker with 15 years of practice. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence or stuck in life changes. Parents and people juggling family and career pressures often seek her practical support and clear guidance.

Casey draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and a client-centred attitude. She focuses on building psychological flexibility, clarifying what matters to each person, and finding manageable steps forward. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused rather than rushed or technical.

She has worked across clinical and community settings, helping people with relationship strain, addictions and issues around body image and self‑worth. Casey also supports people facing fertility concerns, caregiver stress, and the aftermath of domestic violence with careful listening and steady practical plans.

Casey uses motivational interviewing and elements of attachment-based work when relationships and patterns of closeness are part of the concern. She aims to help people notice unhelpful habits, try small experiments, and choose actions that match their values. The emphasis is on realistic change that fits everyday life.

Taking a first step can feel hard, and Casey acknowledges that courage. She invites people to speak at their own pace and offers straightforward strategies alongside compassionate support. To begin, follow the Start Therapy process and schedule a time that suits you.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then choose actions that reflect personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours through small experiments, which suits problems like worry, stress and confidence issues. Attachment‑based elements look at how relationship patterns influence feelings and reactions and can help when communication or closeness is a struggle.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan collaboratively as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the focus of sessions.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It also lets the therapist use exercises, worksheets and behavioural experiments between meetings to support steady change without requiring in‑person attendance.
