About Casie

Casie Vargson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, depression, relationship and family issues, and feelings tied to guilt and shame. Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients.

Casie trained at Chatham University where she earned a master’s degree in 2014. Since then she has worked in a mix of settings, including partial programs and private practice. Her background includes work related to pregnancy and childbirth, adoption and foster care, hospice and end-of-life counseling, caregiving stress, and issues that touch attachment and intimacy.

Her way of working draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas among other approaches. She uses solution-focused techniques, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic ideas to help people talk through current problems and understand patterns that repeat over time.

In sessions she discusses practical steps as well as underlying feelings. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing present-moment skills, or tracing relationship patterns that influence guilt and shame. She also brings experience with coaching-style work for life purpose and career concerns.

Her practice has included canine-assisted and equine-assisted therapy in some settings. When planning care she considers what someone needs and discusses which methods might fit best. To begin, prospective clients follow the online matching and scheduling steps provided on the platform.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Casie uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how patterns in relationships shape current feelings. This approach helps when guilt or shame link back to early bonds or recurring relationship interactions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and try out different thoughts and behaviors that keep painful feelings in place.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will talk with each client about goals and preferences and together decide which approaches to try. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

The biography does not list specific session delivery methods, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules. They can also allow for shorter check-ins, audio-only conversations if video is difficult, or planning work that applies directly to daily life. These practical features help people maintain momentum while they try different therapeutic tools.
