Aleksander Casas, LCPC

Aleksander Casas is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with eight years of experience helping people sort through life’s pressures. He frames therapy as a place to notice thoughts and everyday habits that get in the way. Aleksander keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now. He believes many struggles come from learning how to live with change and stress rather than from something being inherently wrong. In sessions he looks at patterns in thinking, emotion, and behavior to find practical next steps. He uses talk-based work and exercises drawn from several approaches to help people try new ways of responding. Aleksander often supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also helps with career decisions, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and compassion fatigue. Attention-related concerns such as ADHD and complex situations like co-morbidity and chronic illness are part of his practice too. His clinical approach includes acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, and emotion-regulation skills from dialectical behavior work. Treatment plans are collaborative and adjusted to each person’s goals. To begin, Aleksander asks people to share what’s most pressing, then they build manageable steps together. Sessions are presented in a telehealth format in keeping with his practice description, and he works with English-speaking and international clients. To work with him, use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule.

How his approaches guide online work

Aleksander uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. This can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes.

He also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. That focus can help with intimacy-related issues, trust, and communication concerns.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Aleksander works together with each person to identify goals and test approaches that fit those goals and preferences. He adjusts techniques as people learn what helps and what does not.

The biography indicates sessions are offered via telehealth, so confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Talk-based exercises, behavioral prompts, and skill practice translate well to remote sessions, and Aleksander will discuss how to structure meetings to match your routine and objectives.
