Casey Peak, LPC

Casey Peak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. She brings a calm, direct presence and aims to make hard conversations feel manageable. Sessions are practical and focused on small, useful steps clients can try between meetings.

Casey has seven years of clinical experience and a background that includes forensic psychology, psychological testing, and sexual health. She earned her master's in counseling from Missouri State University and holds an undergraduate degree from Southwest Baptist University.

Her style blends warmth with straightforward guidance. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals and choose approaches that match their needs. That might mean skills practice, short-term problem solving, or work that addresses past harm and its effects.

Casey commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused methods, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. In practice she helps people identify patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and build routines that reduce distress. She also addresses specific concerns like chronic pain, communication problems, and issues related to sexuality and kink culture.

Therapy is offered remotely across Missouri, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. Casey frames the first session as a conversation to see what fits and what realistic next steps look like.

How CBT and Collaborative Methods Work Online

Casey often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then practice small changes that reduce anxiety or unwanted habits. She also draws on client-centered approaches that prioritize the person's own goals and experiences, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult topics.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Casey will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. That might mean combining short-term problem solving with deeper work on past harm when needed.

Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send quick updates, ask questions between sessions, or use written check-ins when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
