01About Aleksander
Aleksander Casas brings eight years of clinical experience to his work in Illinois. He holds an IL LCPC and focuses on helping people lighten the load of everyday stress. Aleksander frames therapy as a joint effort where clients and therapist investigate what’s happening now and what’s getting in the way of feeling better.
He uses clear, steady conversations to make sense of emotions and habits. Aleksander pays attention to patterns in relationships, reactions to stress, and the ways people try to cope.
Background and approach
He encourages practical steps that fit into day-to-day life rather than long lists of techniques. Sessions often begin with current problems and move toward small, manageable goals. Aleksander combines talking through situations with exercises that people can try between sessions.
He helps clients learn to notice thoughts and choose actions aligned with their values. People come to him for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also supports those dealing with career strain, caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, ADHD, and questions around identity and sexual expression.
Aleksander draws from several approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused ideas, and cognitive behavioral strategies. His style is collaborative and down-to-earth. He aims to help people make steady changes that ease daily life and improve how they relate to themselves and others.

04Online support
Using practical approaches in online therapy
Acceptance and commitment work helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and move toward actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; this can help with intimacy, grief, and managing relationship strain. Cognitive behavioral strategies break problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns, which is helpful for depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed so it fits the person’s life.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to attend. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people send notes or check in between appointments and can fit into busy schedules. These options offer flexibility to keep progress moving without traveling to an office.
