Doug Casper is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. He brings 27 years of experience and a straightforward, patient approach. He speaks English and practices in Ohio as an LPCC and a LPC. People who feel stuck by overwhelming thoughts or habits often come to him to talk through what’s most pressing and start small changes.

Doug focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. He listens first, then helps clients notice the thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Together they set realistic goals and try simple strategies to shift thinking, behavior, and routine. Sessions emphasize clear, doable actions more than labels or jargon.

He uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people in accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on strengths and next steps when quick progress is the priority.

How his approaches translate to online work

Doug commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which helps with anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. ACT encourages noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that reflect personal values, which can help with stress, grief, and motivation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will listen to your concerns, discuss different methods, and try approaches that match your goals and preferences. That way the plan can change as progress or new challenges emerge.

Confirm session options before booking because specific online formats are not listed here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT or ACT exercises for remote sessions, using focused homework, brief behavioral experiments, and step-by-step values work to help shift daily routines and thinking patterns.
