Aleksander Casas, LCPC

Aleksander Casas is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with eight years of experience. He practices from Illinois and offers therapy in English. He approaches sessions as a place to talk about what feels heavy and to make changes that fit everyday life.

He focuses on practical strategies so people can manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and addictive patterns. Aleksander uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach acceptance skills and values-based action.

In session he listens without judgment and helps people set clear, doable goals. Conversations are direct and grounded in everyday steps, not jargon. He works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma, sleep and eating struggles, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Aleksander also brings attachment-informed ideas to better understand patterns from past relationships. That lens can help with abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stress, and caregiver strain. He uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.

People who choose Aleksander can expect a collaborative style that balances practical tools and personal reflection. Sessions can include skill practice, thought work, and planning for change. Therapy is offered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different routines.

How Aleksander blends therapeutic approaches online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and for building concrete coping strategies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches acceptance of difficult internal experiences while helping people take actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, chronic struggles, and goal-oriented change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with abandonment, attachment concerns, intimacy issues, and relationship patterns.

Finding the right combination of these approaches is part of the work. Aleksander collaborates with each person to identify goals and then tailors techniques to fit those goals and preferences. He will check in regularly about what's helping and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, and written practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, travel, or caregiving routines while maintaining continuity of care.
