About Alexander
Alexander "Alex" Dannin is a California LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 10 years of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship issues, self-esteem, career questions, stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. Alex also lists life purpose among his areas of focus and works with concerns such as communication problems, control issues, and feelings of emptiness.
Alex describes emotions as signals that point to underlying beliefs. In sessions he helps people identify those beliefs and then try different thoughts and actions to shift how they feel. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide practical changes rather than relying on one fixed method.
Clients often explore concrete problems like workplace conflict, money stress, or trouble communicating with someone close. He also addresses struggles with guilt, shame, isolation, and forgiveness. The practice notes interest in supporting men facing midlife questions and people who feel uncertain about purpose or direction.
Before moving into therapy, Alex worked in corporate IT and finance. That background informs his direct, problem-focused work with career and workplace issues. He also has experience working with a wide range of people from different life situations.
Sessions are conducted in English and Alexander accepts international clients. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and follow the site's sign-up flow to schedule an initial appointment.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can better understand themselves and their needs. It helps when someone feels unheard or unsure about their direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to test different thoughts and behaviors for issues like anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and on identifying what is already working to move toward short-term goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Alexander will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then collaborate to decide which methods to emphasise. That means sessions can shift if a different focus would better meet the client's needs.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce transit time, allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, or remove the need to be on camera if that feels better. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they juggle work, family, or other commitments.
