    About Casey

    Casey Barber is an AASW social worker with 15 years of practical experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, family conflict, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and problems with motivation. Her style is warm and straightforward so conversations stay focused and useful.

    Casey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside client-centred and narrative approaches. She helps people notice what matters to them, build flexibility in how they respond, and make small changes that fit their life. Motivational Interviewing is also part of how she helps people find motivation for change.

    Sessions involve clear steps and practical strategies rather than lots of jargon. Casey aims to make it easier to plan next steps, practice new behaviours and check what is helping. She keeps sessions paced to the person, so progress is steady rather than rushed.

    Her background spans clinical and community settings across Australia. Over 15 years she has supported people through life transitions, career decisions and addictive behaviours as well as family and relationship difficulties. The focus is on what the person wants to achieve and how to get there.

    Casey invites a collaborative approach where the client’s values guide the work. She offers straightforward tools, reflective conversation and an emphasis on real-world changes that can help day-to-day functioning and sense of direction.

  2. How approach and online counselling work together

    Casey commonly uses Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping someone find and strengthen their own reasons for change, which can be useful for motivation issues and addictions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful patterns, clarify core values and take action that fits those values, which suits stress, anxiety and life transitions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Casey works collaboratively to see which ideas and exercises fit a person’s situation and goals. Together they will try practical steps, review what helps and adjust the approach over time so the work stays relevant.

    Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also make shorter follow-ups or brief coaching-style conversations easier to arrange. Ask about available formats when you start the matching process so sessions are scheduled in a way that suits everyday routines.
