About Alan
Alan Wong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 14 years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He also supports those facing ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, career stress, bipolar disorder, and major life changes.
Alan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary approach. He explains practical skills in plain terms and focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions tend to be straightforward and skills-focused so people can use what they learn between meetings.
He also draws on experience with relational and background issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, and family of origin problems. He pays attention to how past relationship patterns show up in day-to-day reactions and coping. That helps people who feel stuck by old patterns or who struggle with control and codependency.
Alan has worked with people affected by chronic illness, caregiver stress, first responder issues, and reactions after disasters. He is familiar with disruptive mood and impulse-related concerns and supports people managing emptiness, commitment worries, and intense mood changes. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to real-life routines.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin setting goals and planning next steps.
CBT and practical skills for online sessions
Alan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and to develop more effective behaviors. CBT sessions focus on clear skills such as noticing triggers, testing beliefs, and practicing alternative responses that reduce anger and anxiety. These techniques are useful for stress, mood issues, sleep problems, and managing strong reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alan will collaborate with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and daily life. He adapts plans based on how a person responds and on what feels workable, so therapy changes as needs change.
