About Douglas
Douglas Strange is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oklahoma with 12 years of counseling experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship strain, anger, coping with life changes, and coaching concerns.
He draws on long personal experience with addiction and recovery and many years in sales, management, and the military. That background influences how he frames conversations and practical steps. He emphasizes applying straightforward psychological ideas alongside the client’s real-life strengths.
Sessions focus on identifying thoughts and habits that keep problems going. He uses clear, structured strategies and conversations aimed at changing unhelpful patterns. Clients can expect concrete exercises and check-ins between meetings to track progress.
Douglas describes his style as respectful and non-judgmental, and he centers grace and mercy in how he talks with people. He encourages practical action rather than abstract theory, helping people try different ways of responding to stressors and setbacks.
He also works on issues related to drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions such as gambling or pornography, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, users follow the platform steps to match and schedule a first appointment.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Douglas uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT involves short, focused conversations, practical exercises, and tracking small experiments between sessions to test new ways of responding.He also draws on Existential Therapy, which looks at questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. That approach helps when people feel stuck on purpose, guilt, or shame and want to clarify values and next steps.
Choosing the right method is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try concrete techniques to see what fits. The process is collaborative and adjusted based on what helps most.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks more effectively. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions so clients can practice skills in everyday life.
