About Douglas
Douglas Strange is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oklahoma with 12 years of counseling experience. He works with adults on concerns that include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship issues, anger, coping with life changes, and coaching.
Douglas draws on a long personal and professional history that includes military service, sales and management, and lived experience in recovery from addiction. He names recovery and involvement with Alcoholics Anonymous as part of what informs his perspective. He also notes family roles including marriage and parenthood as part of his life story.
In sessions he uses practical, down-to-earth language. He connects psychological ideas to real-life choices and routines. Conversations aim to clarify what feels stuck and look at small steps that can change daily patterns.
His work incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy. That means looking at how thoughts shape feelings and behavior, while also considering questions of meaning, responsibility, and values. These approaches are used to address problems like guilt and shame, addictions, and life transitions.
Douglas emphasizes respect, mercy, and non-judgment in how he interacts. He encourages people to notice strengths they already have and build on them. If you want clear, practical sessions grounded in life experience, his style focuses on straightforward problem solving and honest conversation.
How CBT and Existential approaches guide online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different ways of thinking or behaving to reduce distress. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, guilt, and addictions.Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, values, and personal responsibility. It encourages people to consider what matters to them, to face difficult choices, and to build a life aligned with their beliefs. This can help when guilt or shame relates to identity, life purpose, or moral conflict.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide whether techniques from CBT, existential work, or a mix of both seem most helpful for the issue at hand.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available session formats before booking to know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel. Many licensed professionals adapt CBT exercises and reflective existential conversations to remote sessions so practical tools and deeper reflection can continue without changing day-to-day routines.
