Hello, my name is Casey French and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Through guidance, encouragement and support, I have helped clients of all ages and backgrounds discover a better quality of life. My main area of focus is first responders; police, fire, EMS, and military personnel that work in crisis everyday and that live in a constant state of alertness. Transitioning back into "normal" life with family and friends can be difficult. Not only can asking for help be stressful, but finding the time can be all but impossible. Being able to reach out to someone at times that work best for you is critical and is why I began working with Betterhelp. Are you seeking relief from depression, anxiety, frustrations in relationships, low self esteem? My goal is to provide a safe and supportive setting where you can explore your deepest questions and to help you find ways to become more confident and comfortable in the world. My approach is collaborative and eclectic although I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I will seek to understand you as a unique individual and tailor my approach to what works for you. I am experienced and dedicated to working with you in overcoming the obstacles that cause you distress and to create a more balanced and satisfying life. Let me help you take the first step in accepting your past, living in your present, and changing your future.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a National Certified Counselor, ( NCC) with other 30 years experience in both counseling and education. I started my professional career as an elementary special education teacher in the early 80's. I obtained my M.Ed in counselor Education in 1989 from the University of Arkansas and in 1989 I went to Alaska for the first time as along term substitute teacher. I worked in the Bering Strait School District, in Unalakleet, Alaska. I would return a year later, and work a total of 11 years as a teacher, itinerant school counselor, and village school principal in the district. I would go on to work in two other school districts before retiring from Alaska in 2004. After returning to Arkansas, and home, I worked as a kindergarten counselor in a center with 180 kids and 18 teachers. I fully retired in 2007. In 2009, I became a military and family life counselor and have been doing this for 10 years. My treatment approach is based on my training and my personality. I was trained in CCT and it fit my style, even though I do specialize in crisis counseling. I have found helping the client, and not necessarily directing the client is more effective for me. With over 5 years here at BetterHelp, my goal is to be the most effective therapist possible

Keeping it Simple! Greetings, potential BetterHelp client! I work primarily with clients who want to actively eliminate and complete certain areas of their life, and to use that released energy to create new directions. As you see above, my motto for everything is to “Keep It Simple.” And that includes every aspect of our lives. My therapeutic approach is to 1.) assess your current life situation, and then to 2.) teach some basic life-lessons which, if practiced, will lead to your own development of a powerful set of “Self-Therapy” skills. Self-therapy – that should be the goal of every counselor and client. You were/are/will be the creator of everything you are currently experiencing. Therefore, teaching you some skills to address that personal responsibility is the focus of any sessions we would have. Here is an idea of how that program works: Step One: listen to the client’s challenging stories Step Two: teach a simple exercise (a self-therapy tool) to address those challenges Step Three: practice, and then repeat the first two steps! Also, a touch of humor and artistic creativity can be very helpful in this process. Before we work together on a regular basis, decide if/when you are prepared for a series of teaching sessions based on learning "Self-Therapy skills" before you click on my name as a BH counselor. My program has weekly lessons to read and study, freely available on my own pages. Those topics, and that outline, will determine how we proceed from week to week. If you would like to look over this program ahead of time, to help you decide, it is on my own web site here: ptp-express.space. Practical Note: I prefer the "video session" format, because the "chat" and "phone" formats limit the quality of our exchanges. Also, around the clock "asynchronous messaging/journaling" is encouraged. My session days are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, usually starting at Noon. Here is a copy of my usual weekly session schedule, for your future reference. Usual weekly session schedule (all times are US Central Time) Wednesday: 12 noon, 1:30 pm, 3 pm, 4:30 pm, 6 pm and 7:00 pm Thursday: 12 noon, 1:30 pm, 3 pm, 4:30 pm, 6 pm, and 7:00 pm Friday: 12 noon, 1:30 pm, 3 pm, 4:30 pm, and 6 pm At any time, feel free to ask me questions about how BetterHelp works, especially with how to get the best tech setup for a good session. I look forward to traveling the Search for Simplicity path with you! Bob Mace, MA/LPC
