About Aleksander
Aleksander Casas is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with eight years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and anger. He works with people who feel overwhelmed by everyday pressures or stuck in repeating patterns. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than labels or blame.
His approach is straightforward and conversational. He invites clients to notice what they are feeling and thinking, and then try small changes to test what works. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to anger, examining unhelpful thoughts, or building skills to handle stress at work and home.
Aleksander uses methods from acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people clarify values and change unhelpful behaviors. He also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to map how early relationships shape current reactions. Dialectical behavior therapy skills may be added when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Sessions are oriented toward real problems and everyday life. He talks through concrete strategies for sleep, eating, parenting strains, and coping with life changes. He also supports people navigating identity and intimacy-related concerns, including LGBT issues.
People can expect a collaborative, goal-focused style. Aleksander encourages testing small shifts between sessions and tracking what changes. For next steps, use the site buttons to review online therapy options and schedule an initial meeting.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Aleksander commonly uses acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in his work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts. CBT looks at thinking patterns and behavior links, offering concrete exercises to reduce reactivity and avoidant habits.He also incorporates attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. That can help when anger is tied to fear of abandonment or ongoing communication problems. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best, using the client’s goals, day-to-day challenges, and preferences to guide decisions in a collaborative way.
The original biography references guided telehealth as the setting for sessions. Please confirm the current online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work on temper into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Therapists can assign short between-session exercises and skills practice that slot into daily routines to help manage anger and stress.
