Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started & Basics
Kasey is a private-pay provider and does not accept insurance. Superbills are available upon request for out-of-network reimbursement.

Call 732-864-4760 or complete a contact form with your name and the best way to reach you. If you have a preferred day or time to be contacted, please include that too. I do my best to return messages within 48 hours. Please keep private details limited.
I’ll reach out to schedule a complimentary phone screening. This gives me a chance to ask some initial questions — and of course, I welcome your questions too. If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule your first session, and I’ll send you forms to complete electronically before we meet.
-
Telehealth (50 minutes): $150
Walk and Talk Therapy (50 minutes): $210 (rate may vary based on location/commute)
I also leave space in my schedule for a few reduced-rate clients, since what is affordable for one person may not be for another. We’ll talk about fees during your phone screening.
Please note: prices are subject to change. If an increase becomes necessary, I’ll provide fair notice so you have time to prepare.
-
I don’t accept insurance directly. However, I do provide superbills for clients with out-of-network benefits. You can submit these to your insurance company to see if you qualify for reimbursement. Many of my clients receive partial or full reimbursement depending on their plan, so it’s worth checking with your carrier to see if you have out-of network benefits for mental health services.

Logistics & Availability
-
Yes! I’m currently accepting:
New Jersey clients: via telehealth or walk and talk therapy (depending on location and weather)
Oregon clients: via telehealth
Location within either state doesn’t matter, all we need is a reliable WiFi connection. Just note you must be physically located in New Jersey or Oregon during sessions.
-
I currently work with clients 18 and older. Counselors naturally have areas of focus, and for me, that does not include children or adolescents. When appropriate, I refer clients to therapists who specialize in those areas. This ensures you get the most effective care.
-
I enjoy in-person therapy too, which is why I offer walk and talk therapy when possible. But telehealth has big advantages:
Convenience (no commute, no gas money, no traffic)
Affordability (lower overhead = lower rates)
Flexibility (easier to keep appointments, even when not feeling 100%)
Accessibility (helpful for those without reliable transportation, with anxiety, or with health issues)
-
Exactly what it sounds like! We meet at an agreed-upon location, and walk while we talk. Many clients find this:
Great for restless energy
A chance to multitask with movement + therapy
Less intimidating than sitting face-to-face
If you’re in Ocean or Monmouth counties and willing to travel within 20 minutes of me, mention your interest in walk and talk therapy when you reach out.
Scope of Services & Philosophy
-
You don’t have to be grieving a pet or struggling with isolation to work with me. I’ve helped adults with:
Social anxiety and avoidance
Relationship or friendship conflict
Recovering from breakups
Low motivation and energy
Anxiety, depression
Navigating career changes or other major life transitions
Reevaluating alcohol or drug use (in a calm, non-judgmental way)
That’s why I offer a free phone consultation — it gives us both a chance to ask questions and see if working together is a good fit.
-
No. Counselors cannot prescribe unless they have additional credentials (like a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner). I often collaborate with prescribing providers when clients give permission, so your care feels more coordinated.
-
I’ve chosen not to work with insurance for several reasons:
Privacy: Insurance may request notes or details beyond a diagnosis.
Payments: Providers often wait months for reimbursement.
Control: Insurance companies decide what’s “covered,” not what’s clinically helpful.
Costs: Premiums and deductibles rise while provider rates stagnate.
Clawbacks: Insurers can demand repayment for past sessions, even due to their own errors.
By remaining private pay, I can focus on your care, not on paperwork, approval codes, or fighting for payments.

Counseling fees reflect a mix of factors: education, training, state licensure, continuing education, practice expenses (insurance, software, taxes), and cost of living.
As a telehealth counselor, I can keep my rates lower than the average because I don’t carry overhead for office rent.
