About Aleksander
Aleksander Casas is a licensed clinical professional counselor with eight years of experience helping people manage stressful life changes. He works from Illinois and offers sessions online to make counseling more reachable for people juggling work, family, or travel. Aleksander focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions and on understanding what led to current struggles.
He often begins by listening closely to what feels most pressing. Sessions look at thoughts, relationships, and daily routines that shape mood and behavior.
Background and approach
Aleksander uses gentle questions and real-world assignments to help people notice patterns and test small changes. Systemic ideas guide much of his work - that means paying attention to how relationships and roles affect distress. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore connection and trust issues.
Cognitive Behavioral ideas are used for practical skill-building when helpful. Aleksander commonly supports people facing anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship stress, trauma, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and identity questions. He also addresses areas like body image, sexual and kink-related concerns, caregiving stress, and chronic illness coping.
Sessions are conversational and task-focused. Expect clear goals, small experiments to try during the week, and check-ins about progress. His way of working aims to make therapy feel manageable and tied to everyday life.
People meet with him by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Working together begins with a short questionnaire to match needs and schedule the first session.

How Aleksander’s Approaches Work Online
Aleksander blends Systemic Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to address problems in everyday life. Systemic Therapy looks at how roles and relationships shape stress and behavior and helps identify practical changes in interactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and trust to improve emotional bonds and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Aleksander will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize systemic ideas, ACT, attachment work, or a mix that fits the situation.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or times when a quick message works better than a full session. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
