Doug Casper, LPCC, LPC

Doug Casper is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with 27 years of experience. He helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship strain, or life changes. He uses practical methods so clients can start feeling more capable and clear about next steps.

Doug focuses on simple, direct conversation. He listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then he offers tools from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based approaches to help change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. Sessions emphasize small manageable steps and workable goals.

He brings a broad background working with many concerns over nearly three decades. That experience informs how he tailors sessions to each person’s situation, whether the issue is career stress, parenting strain, grief, or problems tied to trauma and abuse. He also supports people dealing with addiction, bipolar mood challenges, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Doug blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. He works in a collaborative way, inviting people to test what helps and change course when needed. The focus is on what moves someone forward in day-to-day life.

He offers sessions from Ohio and conducts work in English. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To get started, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on therapist availability.

How Doug Uses Practical Therapies Online

Doug commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and emotions without fighting them and committing to actions that match personal values, which is useful for coping with life changes and persistent worries.

He approaches finding the right method as a team effort. The therapist will talk through goals and try different techniques to see what fits the client's needs and preferences. If one way isn’t helping, adjustments are made so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and messaging work well for short updates, quick problem-solving, or clients who prefer writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy routines.
