Aleksander Casas , LCPC

Aleksander Casas is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with eight years of experience. He focuses on helping people carry the weight of stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and other life challenges. He frames therapy as a practical time to notice what’s happening and to work through it together.

Aleksander uses clear, direct conversation to find the root of what someone is feeling and thinking. He encourages steady steps rather than quick fixes. Sessions aim to build skills that people can use between meetings to manage mood, cravings, or overwhelming days.

His work covers a wide range of concerns including relationship struggles, intimacy issues, parenting strains, sleep and eating problems, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, bipolar mood challenges, and identity questions related to LGBT matters.

Aleksander draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. He blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive tools and emotion-focused listening. That mix helps people learn new behaviors, repair attachment wounds, and make values-based choices.

Telehealth is a routine part of his practice. People meet over video, phone, live chat, or messaging. Aleksander works collaboratively to set goals and adjust the plan as progress and life circumstances change.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Aleksander often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation when life feels stuck.

He also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections affect current relationships and intimacy. This approach helps people repair patterns of mistrust, fear of closeness, or repeated conflicts with partners and loved ones.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aleksander collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. He adjusts techniques as progress is made or as new issues come up, so the plan evolves with the client's needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other for interactive work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to touch base between sessions or fit support into a busy day. These formats support consistent contact and make scheduling easier for people with tight or changing routines.
