About Casie
Casie Vargson, LPC, works with people facing parenting stress, grief, anxiety, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps families and individuals can take to feel steadier and more confident. Her approach is direct and supportive, aimed at helping people manage day-to-day challenges and build stronger relationships.
Casie completed a master’s degree at Chatham University in Pittsburgh in 2014 and has nine years of counseling experience. She has worked in partial hospitalization programs and in private practice settings, so she is familiar with both intensive and ongoing care. Her background includes work with parent-infant relationships and many family concerns, and she has experience with adoption and foster care issues.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how relationships shape behavior, client-centered listening that follows the person’s lead, and cognitive behavioral techniques that break down unhelpful thoughts into manageable steps. Mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives also inform her work when exploring patterns and meaning from the past.
Casie has also offered canine-assisted and equine-assisted activities as part of her practice. She aims to match techniques to each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone. This means sessions tend to focus on clear goals, coping skills, and small changes that add up.
People who choose Casie can expect practical tools for parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She encourages a collaborative process that helps people find what works for their life and values.
How Casie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online conversations can help identify patterns in relationships and teach different ways of relating that reduce conflict and distance.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. In virtual sessions this means the therapist asks questions, reflects what she hears, and supports the client in finding their own solutions and strengths.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear, practical exercises. Online work can include short between-session tasks, thought records, and focused skill practice to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Casie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can shift as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Session format details are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a short touchpoint will help. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises, role plays, or homework tasks in the setting where they live, which helps transfer skills into everyday routines.
