More about Alexander
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- LMFT
I am a licensed psychotherapist in California with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, depression, & coping with life changes.
With a background in developmental psychology, I utilize client-centered care to provide a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. During our initial sessions, I use careful listening to gain a holistic understanding of a client's life experience. From there, we will collaborate to set specific goals for your therapy.
As an integrated psychotherapist, I draw from various therapeutic modalities (including cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused models, Gestalt and mindfulness-based models), tailoring my methods to meet your unique needs and challenges. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

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.
