About Aleksander

Aleksander Casas is a licensed clinical professional counselor (IL LCPC 180.013764) with eight years of experience guiding people through life transitions and persistent stressors.

Background and approach

He frames emotional struggles not as personal failure but as challenges to be navigated, offering a supportive space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and identify practical ways forward. His work addresses a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, and career or parenting stress.

Casas combines evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with an attachment-aware, client-centered stance. He emphasizes collaboration and curiosity, helping clients uncover patterns that maintain distress and develop new skills for coping and decision making.

Available to people in Illinois and to international clients, he offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as flexible formats to fit busy lives. Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to his availability.

Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care

Aleksander frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action; this approach is useful for persistent anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and build concrete skills for mood, sleep, and coping problems. Attachment-Based Therapy informs his work by exploring how early relational patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, which can be helpful for intimacy, relationship, and trauma-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Aleksander works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors interventions from these modalities rather than prescribing a single method; this helps ensure the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Aleksander is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. The range of formats supports ongoing skill practice between meetings, easier access for people in different locations, and options for pacing and communication style during the therapeutic journey.
