About Doug
Doug Casper is an Ohio LPCC and a Michigan LPC with 27 years of counseling experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, parenting strains, and related issues. He also addresses career and money concerns, caregiver stress, men’s issues, and challenges tied to adoption and blended families.
Doug uses plain, down-to-earth language in sessions. He focuses on helping people understand how they fit with others and the world. Conversations aim to make confusing or heavy problems feel more manageable. Sessions move at a pace set by the client and target practical changes for daily life.
His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. He blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and committed action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person’s perspective central. He also uses Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused techniques when those fit the concern.
People come for help with specific problems like panic in social situations, managing strong emotions, or coping after loss. He also supports those wanting coaching around career moves or handling midlife transitions. Sessions often combine talking through immediate problems with small, doable steps between meetings.
Doug practices in Ohio and conducts work in English. Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How Doug blends approaches for online work
Doug frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. ACT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and situations where avoidance has become a habit.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and behavior cycles that keep problems going, and then tests new ways of thinking and acting in everyday situations. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss different methods and try what seems to fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That selection is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
