About Alexander
Alexander "Alex" Dannin uses a client-centered approach as the foundation of his work. He emphasizes a practical, down-to-earth process that helps people reconnect with a sense of balance and worth. Alex guides conversations toward concrete changes in thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
He understands emotions as signals rather than problems to be erased. That view helps him and the person he is working with identify the beliefs behind feelings like anger, sadness, or fear. From there they look for small shifts that change how situations are handled and how life feels day to day.
Alex blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that fit each person’s needs. He aims to keep things flexible and practical, so sessions often focus on real-life steps and short-term goals. He also draws on Human Design ideas to add perspective about strengths and patterns when it helps.
He brings ten years of experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT. His background includes earlier work in IT and finance, which he says informs his focus on workplace and career concerns. Alex practices in California and offers services in English.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person’s priorities. In an online setting that usually means sessions concentrate on what matters most to the client and on building a supportive, collaborative relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises and experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. Online sessions can include homework and concise skill practice between meetings to reinforce change. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on strengths and next steps, helping people set short-term goals and notice progress quickly.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with clients to test methods, adjust as needed, and decide which mix of strategies fits the client’s goals and preferences. This gives space to try things that feel practical and relevant in everyday life.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, which can make regular check-ins more feasible. Some clients prefer shorter check-ins or sessions that don’t require travel. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking to understand how sessions are delivered and to choose what best fits daily routines.
