About Aleksander
Aleksander Casas is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who brings eight years of practice to people feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands. He frames therapy as a joint exploration where everyday stresses, confusion, and painful feelings get attention in a steady, focused way. Aleksander offers sessions by video, phone, chat, and text to fit a busy schedule.
He believes many struggles do not mean something is seriously wrong. Often people are learning new ways to cope after loss, change, or long-term stress.
Background and approach
In sessions he helps identify patterns that keep problems running and finds small shifts that ease daily life. Aleksander uses a mix of approaches, including existential ideas about meaning, acceptance and commitment work to clarify values, and attachment-based thinking about relationship patterns. He also draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral strategies when they fit the need.
This blend helps tailor sessions to what each person brings. He works with a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, ADHD, intimacy and relationship questions, and caregiver stress. Aleksander also supports people navigating identity and LGBT-related matters and career or life transitions.
Sessions typically focus on practical skills and clearer choices. Aleksander encourages straightforward conversation and small experiments between meetings. People leave with concrete steps they can try and a clearer sense of what matters to them.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Aleksander blends Existential therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people facing big questions and daily struggles. Existential work focuses on meaning, choice, and the experience of being alive, which can help when life feels uncertain or empty. ACT works with acceptance and committed action to build a life that fits your values while reducing time spent fighting painful thoughts and feelings.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early and current relationship patterns shape how people relate now. That can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and repetitive hurtful patterns. These approaches are explained in plain terms and chosen together with the person in therapy based on their goals and concerns.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets you use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat is helpful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching-style touchpoints. This range gives flexibility for work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or when shorter check-ins are preferred. Aleksander collaborates with each person to pick the format and approach that fit their life and goals.
