Hi, I'm Casey Arena, a Rhode Island licensed mental health and addiction counselor. I support individuals in navigating anxiety, mood challenges, overwhelm, identity shifts, relationship stress, and the complexities of addiction, recovery, and sobriety.
My work is grounded in the belief that healing doesn’t come from trying to “fix” yourself — it comes from learning to understand your nervous system, your patterns, and your needs with compassion.
My Approach
I provide therapy that is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. Clients often tell me they feel deeply understood, gently challenged, and supported in building practical tools for real life.
I integrate approaches such as:
• Mindfulness-based therapy
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills
• Motivational Interviewing
• Self-compassion and nervous system regulation
Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor treatment to each person’s goals, history, and strengths.
