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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
