Casey Overly , LPC-MHSP

Casey Overly is a direct, warm, and results-oriented counselor who brings practical, research-based care to each client. Holding the LPC-MHSP credential - a Licensed Professional Counselor with training to provide mental health services - she combines clinical expertise with an approachable style to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD. She has worked in both intensive outpatient settings and private practice, giving her experience with a range of needs and levels of support.

Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Casey uses evidence-based techniques to help clients build skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and pursue meaningful change. She often pairs structured, research-proven methods with a touch of quirky humor to keep work focused and engaging. Casey approaches care holistically, attending to body, mind, and spirit, and believes progress grows from a strong therapeutic connection in which clients feel seen and supported.

Outside of clinical work, Casey enjoys long hikes, travel, spending time with her adult children, and spoiling her little white dog. She acknowledges that life can be beautiful and heartbreaking at once, and she offers partnership to those seeking to navigate that full experience.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Flexible Online Care

Casey Overly often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn practical strategies to change them - a helpful approach for anxiety, stress, panic, and impulsivity. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, tools that can support people dealing with intense emotions, relationship problems, and addictive behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is another technique Casey applies when appropriate - it emphasizes values-driven action and learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings while pursuing meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Casey collaborates with clients to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to each person's situation.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people seeking flexibility and access. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and work with a licensed professional from locations across Tennessee. These options make it easier to receive consistent support in ways that suit individual routines and needs.
