Casey Sbat

Casey Sbat is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Pennsylvania who provides online counseling. She holds board certification through the National Board of Certified Counselors (NCC) and maintains a Pennsylvania counseling license (PA LPC PC010600), credentials that reflect her formal training and clinical qualifications.

Casey began her work in the mental health field after earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology and criminal justice in 2009, initially serving as a Therapeutic Staff Support working in clients’ homes with children and families. From 2014 to 2019 she worked as a Crisis Intervention Specialist in an emergency room setting, assessing and caring for patients experiencing acute crisis. She completed a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has been providing counseling since 2015 across emergency room, outpatient, community, school, and residential treatment environments.

Her clinical experience spans work with children and adults facing a wide range of mental health needs, including conduct disorder, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and adjustment disorder. She has supported clients through life transitions, adjustment challenges, relationship and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and other difficulties. Casey has delivered individual, family, and group counseling services as well as crisis intervention when needed.

In sessions she typically uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients connect thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to restructure thinking toward healthier patterns. She also incorporates motivational interviewing to address ambivalence and build motivation for change, and she emphasizes a strengths-based approach that highlights resilience and resourcefulness rather than deficits. Casey aims to foster a positive, goal-oriented mindset and to use her experience in service, advocacy, and education to support clients in building mood stability and safety.

Casey welcomes those who have taken the step to reach out for support. She listens, responds, and collaborates with clients to pursue both short-term and long-term personal or professional goals through the therapeutic relationship.
