About Kasey

LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 7 years of experience, Kasey Polk focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and related challenges. She works with people facing depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD. Sessions also address relationship and family issues as individual concerns and support recovery after abuse and domestic violence.

Kasey uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those approaches are used to teach skills, reduce overwhelm, and help clients identify values and realistic goals.

In sessions she listens for what’s working and what’s not. Conversations focus on concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and stress. When trauma or self-harm appears, she attends to safety and practical coping rather than abstract labels.

Parents and individuals who are juggling chronic illness, caregiving, or compassion fatigue will find a focus on coping and problem solving. Work often includes emotion regulation techniques, behavioral experiments, and building routines that support daily function.

Kasey also supports people processing grief, attachment difficulties, and sexual assault or abuse. She integrates motivational interviewing when changes around substance use or behavior are part of the plan. Her style aims to be direct, collaborative, and skills-oriented.

How Kasey uses ACT, CBT, and DBT in remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and when life changes make choices feel unclear.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It aims to reduce symptoms by changing patterns in thinking and behavior and can help with depression, anxiety, and some habit-related concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are often used when overwhelming emotions, relationship conflict, or self-harm urges need practical strategies.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques in sessions, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process helps match methods to the client’s goals and preferences.

If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can assign brief between-session exercises and coach skills that you can practice between meetings, which keeps progress moving when schedules are tight.
