Kasey Benthin-Staley

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“I have been practicing mental health therapy since 2013 and have been independently licensed since 2015. My clients are often experiencing trauma symptoms, or mood-related issues like depression and anxiety.”

About Me

I help individuals navigate the challenging impact of trauma, depression, and anxiety. Practising since 2013, I understand how these issues can disrupt daily life. My approach offers a consistently supportive space where you can explore your experiences safely. This long-standing commitment allows me to guide you towards greater stability and well-being. Clients find my steady presence reassuring as we work through complex feelings together.

Approach

When difficult memories or low moods arrive, I focus on building practical rhythms that help you feel steadier from one session to the next. I work with adults in Columbus and online, keeping a measured pace and straightforward language so we can examine what’s most useful without rush. Sessions blend mindfulness, psychoeducation, and collaborative problem-solving, often testing small experiments between meetings to shift patterns linked to trauma, chronic illness, stress, or self-esteem. This approach fits people seeking steady, evidence-informed support that respects identity and pacing.
