About Aleksander

Aleksander Casas is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with eight years of experience working with adults. He focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, depression, trauma and grief. He also lists support for LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and career or life-change challenges.

Aleksander frames difficult moments as parts of life that can be worked through rather than signs of personal failure. He offers time to talk through what feels heavy and to look for the roots of certain thoughts and feelings. Sessions are held through a telehealth setting designed for focused conversation and planning.

He draws from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That mix gives room for practical strategies, emotional processing, and attention to how relationships shape experience. He uses methods that match what someone brings to the first sessions.

Aleksander often helps people manage everyday pressure - starting a job, changes in relationships, or the strain of caregiving. He also works with concerns tied to identity, body image, and intimacy. He aims to help clients notice patterns and develop clearer choices in day-to-day life.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and international clients may be accepted depending on circumstances.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Aleksander uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. This can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transition work. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses through real-life exercises.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Aleksander will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as the work proceeds so the sessions stay practical and relevant.

The biography describes sessions being held in a guided telehealth setting, so confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, avoid travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Therapists can use the same ACT and CBT techniques online as in person, adapting exercises and between-session assignments to fit daily life.
