About Doug
Doug Casper is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, life changes, and other emotional challenges. He presents as calm and practical, aiming to guide clients through steps that feel manageable. He uses straightforward talk and collaborative problem solving to help people move forward.
He brings 27 years of counseling experience and holds the credentials LPCC and LPC. Doug focuses on common life struggles such as grief, relationship strain, work pressure, and coping after trauma.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with addiction, parenting stress, and concerns around identity and self-worth. In sessions he blends several approaches to match a person's needs. That can mean noticing patterns of thought and behavior, naming values that matter, or trying small solutions to test what helps.
He draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused methods, among others. Doug describes therapy as a step-by-step journey. He aims to create a steady, respectful pace so people can make changes without feeling overwhelmed.
Goals are practical and tied to everyday life - managing anger, reducing anxiety, healing from trauma, or rebuilding after loss. Clients can expect clear communication and a focus on skills they can use between sessions. Doug works with people who want realistic tools and steady support while they work toward better days.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help people stuck by anxiety, low mood, or life transitions by shifting attention toward meaningful goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. In online work this often involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new skills between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what fits the person's goals and day-to-day life. That shared decision making helps tailor the work to individual needs.
Online sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different rhythms and practical needs. Video calls are useful when face-to-face interaction matters, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can support quick check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping focus on real-life progress.
