About Douglas
Douglas Strange is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience in mental health work. He combines long-term personal recovery experience with years in leadership and client-facing roles. He practices from Oklahoma and supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, anger, and life transitions.
He draws on practical life experience to shape how he works. That means straightforward conversations, clear goals, and tools people can use between sessions.
Background and approach
He emphasizes respect, grace, mercy, and a non-judgmental tone in sessions. Douglas uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and existential approaches to help people examine thoughts, choices, and meaning. He helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce distress.
He also talks about life purpose, forgiveness, guilt, and shame when those issues come up. People seek him out for drug and alcohol addiction and process addictions like porn, exercise, or gambling. He also supports people coping with relationship strain, self-esteem challenges, and major life changes.
His background includes long recovery experience and work in sales and management, which informs his practical coaching style. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. The path to starting is simple: complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule a time that fits.
Douglas aims to help people build steady, manageable steps toward change.

Approaches that guide online work
Douglas uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical skills - like tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and trying new actions - that can reduce anxiety, depression, anger, and addictive behaviors.He also draws on Existential Therapy to address questions of meaning, purpose, and personal responsibility. That approach helps when someone is wrestling with guilt, shame, life purpose, or major transitions and wants to clarify values and direction.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there he will suggest techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and deeper interaction. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or check in without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to keep counseling consistent around work, family, and daily life.
