Casye LeRay

LPC

Due to an impactful and personal experience with loss during my earlier college years, I was inspired to dedicate my career to helping others navigate their own challenges, and to use their own losses for service. I have a passion for helping my clients achieve the very best version of themselves.

 Approach to Therapy

With a focus on ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, I strive to empower clients towards healthy boundaries and manage stress effectively by strengthening their coping mechanisms, all the while, building up a healthy sense of self.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is one of my favorite approaches because it helps people process difficult memories and experiences without having to relive every detail. Using guided eye movements and imagery, ART works with the way your brain stores distressing memories, often leading to meaningful relief in a relatively short amount of time. I focus on ART because I’ve seen how it helps clients let go of the emotional weight they’ve been carrying so they can move through life with greater freedom and confidence.

About Casye
As a dedicated therapist and educator, I bring a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to my work at Vervewell. Born and raised in South Louisiana, I grew up as the youngest of three siblings, embracing a distinctively independent spirit that has shaped my approach to both life and work. My journey from a rebellious student to a compassionate therapist is a testament to my desire and commitment to helping others.

I earned an undergraduate degree from Louisiana State University, where a fascination with the mind and body developed, and led me to pursue a minor in psychology. This early interest built the foundation for a lifelong dedication to understanding human behavior and supporting mental wellness. After moving to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I began a career in education. I taught middle school math while coaching sports for twelve years. During this time, I discovered a deep passion for school counseling. Ultimately, I accepted a leadership role, supporting students in grades PK-5. I’ve been thriving in this role for the past seven years.

Driven by a profound desire to make a difference, and to use my own life story, as well as my strong skills working with adolescents, I went back to school and pursued advanced degrees in both school counseling and professional therapy from Amberton University.

Due to an impactful and personal experience with loss during my earlier college years, I was inspired to dedicate my career to helping others navigate their own challenges, and to use their own losses for service. I have a passion for helping my clients achieve the very best version of themselves. With a rich background in education and counseling, I am committed to guiding adolescents and individuals toward healthier, more fulfilling lives, leveraging their experiences to offer both empathy and heartfelt solutions.

I look very forward to meeting you. I am available evenings and weekends locally in the office, or via telehealth virtually across Texas.

Anxiety and Panic Management (all therapists)

Vervewell therapists work with clients who may be experiencing regular bouts of anxiety. Sometimes anxiety shows up as panic. Learning simpler ideas like deep breathing and visualization are often utilized, as well as more complex modalities like reactive vs responsive, thought driven action, and curated headspace day after day. 

Anxiety represents the psyche’s alarm system responding to perceived threats, both real and Imagined. Rather than simply suppressing symptoms, we’ll explore anxiety as a meaningful communication from parts of yourself demanding attention. You’ll develop sophisticated strategies for self-regulation while investigating the underlying conflicts your anxiety may be expressing. This involves learning to differentiate between realistic concerns requiring action and neurotic anxiety serving defensive purposes. By developing a more nuanced relationship with your anxiety, you transform it from tyrant to teacher, using its energy for growth rather than paralysis.
