Casey French , LPC

Casey French is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who brings a decade of clinical experience to her practice. She has worked with clients of all ages and backgrounds, helping them navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, addiction, trauma, and the everyday stresses of life.

Casey has a particular focus on first responders - police, fire, EMS, and military personnel - who regularly work in crisis and often carry heightened vigilance into their personal lives. She understands how returning to family and community life after high-stress work can feel overwhelming, and she offers therapeutic support tailored to the rhythms and demands of those roles. Her goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can explore difficult feelings and develop practical skills to feel more confident and comfortable in daily life.

Her clinical style is collaborative and eclectic, with extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - she combines evidence-informed techniques with individualized care, adapting interventions to each person’s needs and preferences. Casey emphasizes partnership in therapy, helping clients accept the past, engage more fully in the present, and shape a different future. To increase accessibility for people with busy schedules, she began working with Betterhelp to offer more flexible session options.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Casey employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps clients identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with coping, providing concrete skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also uses a collaborative, eclectic approach that adapts techniques to each person’s situation. This means the therapist and client work together to select methods that fit the client’s goals, whether addressing grief, relationship challenges, trauma reactions, or struggles with self-esteem and life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic method is part of the process, and Casey approaches that decision as a partnership. She will explore a client’s needs, preferences, and goals and adjust strategies over time to find the best fit. Licensed professionals and therapists often tailor sessions to what proves most helpful for each person.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access care around work and family commitments. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, reduce travel barriers, and allow ongoing contact that supports steady progress toward personal goals.
