About Doug
Doug Casper, LPCC, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and other life challenges. He brings 27 years of counseling experience and a steady, practical approach. He works with adults who need clear steps and calm support during hard periods.
Doug believes therapy often starts with simple understanding. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes. He listens first, then helps people try concrete strategies that match their goals and values.
His background includes long experience in counseling across many concerns.
Background and approach
He has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, depression, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. He also assists those navigating career shifts, parenting strain, blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, and end-of-life caregiving decisions. Doug uses a mix of approaches to fit each person.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and Solution-Focused work to set practical goals. Trauma-focused techniques are used when past events continue to cause distress. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules.
He practices in Ohio and communicates in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. It is useful when worry, avoidance, or life changes make choices feel harder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It works well for stress, depression, and many everyday problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safely addressing past events that continue to cause distress, helping people reduce triggers and regain control over daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Doug collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He will discuss what seems most helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are close to in-person conversations, phone sessions use less bandwidth, chat can work for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping a consistent course of care.
