About Aleksander
Aleksander Casas is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with eight years of experience. He helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Aleksander focuses on practical steps people can use right away while also looking at deeper patterns that keep problems repeating.
He uses Narrative approaches to help people tell and reshape their life stories. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to clarify values and strengthen important connections.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral strategies are used when thoughts and behaviors need to be untangled and changed. Aleksander aims for straightforward, collaborative sessions. He listens first, then offers tools tailored to each person’s needs.
Sessions combine exploration of past and present with small experiments to try between meetings. People who reach out can expect clear talk about goals and next steps. Aleksander also supports work on identity, intimacy-related questions, parenting stress, burnout, and ADHD concerns.
He attends to both immediate coping and longer-term patterns so people can move forward in daily life. Work is offered through online formats that fit different schedules. Aleksander welcomes people from Illinois and beyond who prefer remote sessions in English and who want a practical, story-centered approach to change.

How Narrative and ACT work online
Aleksander combines Narrative therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to shape online work. Narrative therapy helps people name the stories they live by and try new storylines that fit their goals and values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match what matters most. Attachment-based ideas look at how early and current relationships affect trust and closeness in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aleksander will talk with each person about what feels most useful and will adapt methods over time. This is a collaborative process where goals, preferences, and small experiments guide which tools are used.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions suit deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work well with lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or ongoing tracking between meetings. These options make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into busy lives.
