About Alexander
Alexander Gordon is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults around stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. He also helps people dealing with ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, and parenting strain.
He begins by listening closely in the first sessions to understand what matters most in a client’s life. That information guides clear, concrete goals the two of them set together. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings as well as on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.
Alexander uses client-centered approaches that prioritize the person’s perspective and experience. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present behavior. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behavior in everyday situations.
He incorporates elements from dialectical behavior therapy and existential thinking when those perspectives fit a person’s goals. Mindfulness-based practices may be suggested for stress, sleep, and strong emotions. Across methods he aims for straightforward techniques people can try right away.
Clients can expect short-term skills work alongside deeper conversations about personal meaning and relationships. He works in English and practices in California as an LMFT. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Alexander uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships influence current reactions. This approach looks at patterns such as clinging, avoidance, or quick irritation and helps people notice how those patterns show up now.He also uses client-centered therapy, which centers on careful listening and the client’s experience. That means sessions focus on the person’s priorities and on building clear goals together. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, and mood problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so techniques can be added or adapted.
