About Alexander
Alexander "Alex" Dannin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people reduce stress and manage anxiety. He works with adults seeking clearer direction in relationships, work, and life purpose. Alex uses straightforward, practical methods so people can feel steadier and more capable day to day.
Alex connects emotions to the thoughts and beliefs that shape them. He helps clients notice patterns that drive worry, anger, or low self-worth, then tries out new ways of thinking and acting.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with space to talk through what matters most to the client. Over a decade of practice informs his approach. Alex blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, choosing tools that fit each person.
He also draws on Human Design ideas when they add useful perspective to someone’s goals. Clients can expect clear steps and homework when that helps progress. Alex aims for simple, measurable shifts rather than long, abstract discussion.
He frames each plan around the client’s real-life constraints like work and family demands. He practices from California and communicates in English. Alex has experience with career and workplace issues, relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, midlife questions, and coping with change.
His style suits people who want practical strategies and a steady, empathetic guide through anxious times.
How Alex’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. In sessions the therapist reflects what the client shares and supports self-directed insight, which can help with anxiety, low self-worth, and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts that keep a problem going and tests new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns because it gives concrete exercises and short-term tools.
Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on practical next steps and what is already working. It tends to move quickly toward small, achievable changes that build momentum in work and personal life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant.
Online sessions make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit into work breaks, travel, or different daily routines.
