More about Alexander
- 7 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Hawaii and a national certified addiction counselor. I have over 7 years experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, grief, and trauma.
I believe in a strengths-based and humanistic approach to mental health treatment in which I help clients to identify and shift from maladaptive/less sustainable coping strategies to more adaptive/sustainable coping strategies. My approach is trauma-informed and combines psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness-based counseling.
I am passionate about reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and helping to make high-quality mental health care accessible for all. In my free time, I enjoy camping, harvesting, playing soccer, shooting pool, and composing music.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
