About Aleksander
Aleksander Casas is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with eight years of practice. He focuses on helping people untangle heavy life stressors and the hard feelings that come with them. He offers sessions by video, phone, chat, and text to fit different schedules and needs.
Aleksander uses straightforward conversation to find what’s behind anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. He also helps people facing addiction, relationship or intimacy struggles, and challenges tied to identity such as LGBT concerns.
Background and approach
He pays attention to issues like parenting stress, career pressure, sleep and eating difficulties, and low self-esteem. In session he draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means working on values, noticing patterns in relationships, and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior.
He keeps the language simple and practical so people can use what they learn right away. Aleksander also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and complex situations like adoption or caregiving stress. He will work at a pace that feels manageable and focus on goals the client names.
The format is collaborative and goal-oriented rather than prescriptive. People who want clear tools and a calm space to sort feelings may find his style helpful. He encourages honest talk about what’s hard and what matters, then builds steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Aleksander uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. ACT often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on actions that fit a person’s priorities.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach helps when trust, intimacy, and communication problems keep repeating in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Aleksander will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. He checks in and adjusts the plan so the client stays involved in deciding what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy practical. Video calls let people keep visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when a shorter, written format fits a busy day. These options aim to make consistent work on goals easier to fit into real life.
