About Alexander
Alexander "Alex" Dannin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people regain balance and move forward. He centers sessions on what matters most to each person and works to identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck. Alex uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help people feel more capable and at peace.
He views emotions as signals rather than problems. Anger, sadness, or anxiety point to beliefs and habits that need attention. Alex helps people name those beliefs and try new ways of thinking and acting to restore alignment with their goals.
His work draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy. He adapts tools to fit each person instead of forcing a single method on everyone. That flexibility helps when concerns range from career stress and relationship friction to life changes and money worries.
Alex brings ten years of clinical experience and a background working in IT and finance before he became a therapist. That mix informs how he approaches workplace issues and financial stress without making assumptions about people’s situations. He also uses insights from Human Design as an optional lens to highlight strengths and patterns.
Sessions are offered in English from California and international clients are accepted. He aims for plain language, clear goals, and concrete next steps so people leave sessions with something they can try between meetings.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you, helping you feel heard and understood while you decide what changes to try. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple experiments and homework to interrupt unhelpful patterns. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps that move you toward clearer goals and immediate relief.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means the plan can shift as progress or obstacles appear, so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work or family commitments. Licensed professionals use these approaches to address relationship strain, work stress, anxiety, depression, and money-related worries in practical, goal-focused ways.
