About Alan
Alan Wong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. He focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and related concerns. He speaks English and accepts international clients.
Alan approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions are tailored to each person, with a plan built around the issues they bring and the goals they set.
With 14 years of experience, Alan has worked with a wide range of problems. He often helps people dealing with grief, sleep difficulties, ADHD, addictions, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. He also supports people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness, and first responder issues.
Alan pays attention to how early relationships and family of origin issues shape current patterns. He also addresses challenges such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and control or commitment issues. His goal is to help clients build clearer thinking and safer routines they can use day to day.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Alan aims to empower people to manage symptoms, cope with setbacks, and make changes that fit their lives. He encourages small, concrete steps so progress feels steady and realistic.
How CBT and focused therapy work online
Alan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary approach. CBT helps people notice patterns of thought that increase anxiety or low mood and then test different ways of thinking and behaving to see what helps. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and many day-to-day difficulties.In sessions he tailors exercises and discussions to the person's concerns. That means the therapist and client decide together what techniques to try and whether to adjust the plan. The process is collaborative - goals, pacing, and homework are shaped around what the client needs and prefers.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow follow-up check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, avoid camera use when preferred, or schedule brief sessions during a break at work. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT tools to work in remote sessions while focusing on practical, real-world changes.
