Doug Casper, LPCC, LPC

Doug Casper is a licensed counselor in Ohio with 27 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, and life changes by listening first and then working with them to find practical steps forward. He writes in a direct, encouraging way and aims to make therapy feel manageable even when problems feel overwhelming.

Doug uses straightforward conversations to help people make sense of hard situations. He focuses on what matters to each person and helps them notice patterns that keep problems going. Together they set small, realistic goals that fit into daily life.

His work draws on several established approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods are used to reduce intense emotions, build coping skills, and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also brings Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused methods into sessions when they match a person’s needs.

Doug has helped people with a wide range of concerns over his career, including grief, addiction, parenting stress, relationship strain, career questions, and issues that follow trauma or abuse. He also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and feelings of isolation.

Sessions are delivered in English and follow a collaborative style. The counselor’s goal is to help clients find workable changes and increase day-to-day resilience. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How these approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to choose actions that match their values. It can help when worry or avoidance keeps someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that maintain stress and anxiety. It is often used for managing mood, panic, and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can shift as progress is made or as new challenges appear.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also make it simpler to keep regular appointments during job changes, caregiving demands, or relocation. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques for remote sessions to help manage stress, reframe thoughts, and practice new behaviors in real life.
