About Alexander
Alexander "Alex" Dannin is a California LMFT with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. Alex frames emotions as signals that point to beliefs and behaviors that may need changing. He prefers clear, practical steps rather than long theory sessions.
He works from a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions often focus on what a person thinks, the actions they take, and small experiments to shift results. He uses language people can understand and avoids clinical jargon.
Alex also draws on Human Design principles to offer extra perspective on patterns and tendencies. He says these insights can help people see habitual reactions more clearly and choose different responses. This is used alongside talk work and actionable tasks.
Before becoming a therapist he worked in IT and finance in corporate roles. That background informs how he talks about workplace stress, career changes, and money worries. Clients seeking coaching-style guidance around career or practical problem solving may find that experience relevant.
Sessions emphasize identifying the beliefs behind strong emotions and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. Alex invites collaboration and straightforward feedback. He supports people who want to manage anger and other intense feelings with concrete skills and ongoing check-ins.
How his approaches translate to online work
Alex uses Client-Centered Therapy by listening closely and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs space to name emotions and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT works well for anger, anxiety, and workplace stress because it creates clear experiments and homework to try between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical changes and short-term goals that can show results quickly.Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Alex will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which approaches might fit best. Together they track progress and adjust methods if needed, keeping the work practical and goal-focused.
