About Aleksander
Aleksander Casas is a licensed clinical professional counselor with eight years of experience in Illinois. He offers a calm, straightforward approach for people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or life transitions. Sessions focus on understanding what feels heavy and learning practical ways to cope day to day.
Aleksander uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help people notice and shift how emotions shape their choices. He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-based perspectives to build clearer patterns in relationships and self-talk.
Background and approach
His style is direct and warm, with attention to what works for each person. In a session he listens for the feelings behind behavior and helps name them. Then he coaches small, achievable steps to change how people respond to those feelings.
Work may include practicing new ways of talking to yourself, experimenting with different behaviors, and tracking progress between sessions. Aleksander helps people facing issues such as addiction, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, ADHD, and sleep or eating problems. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, aging concerns, and caregiving strain.
He offers therapy in English and accepts clients in Illinois and internationally. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online care
Aleksander works with Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful emotion cycles. EFT focuses on how feelings shape responses and helps people create new, healthier interaction patterns when feeling overwhelmed or disconnected.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches how to accept difficult thoughts while committing to values-based actions. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic pain or long-term stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence in his work, helping people understand how early relationship patterns affect current connections and self-view. This approach can clarify how past dynamics show up in parenting, intimacy, or caregiver roles.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Aleksander talks with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging make it easy to check in between sessions or to communicate in shorter bursts. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit work, family life, or differing daily rhythms.
