About Alexander
LMFT Alexander "Alex" Dannin is a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of experience helping people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, career questions, stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. He focuses on practical change and clear communication rather than long theory. Sessions are presented in straightforward language to help people make decisions and restore balance in daily life.
Alex draws on Client-Centered Therapy to ground sessions in the client's perspective and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete goals and track progress. These methods are applied conversationally so clients leave with specific steps to try between sessions.
He pays attention to how emotions signal mismatches between beliefs and experience, then works with clients to test and change those beliefs when useful. That can look like shortening unhelpful thinking patterns, experimenting with new behaviors at work or home, or practicing new ways to talk about needs and limits.
Alex has a background in IT and finance before becoming a therapist, which shapes his direct, practical style. He also explores personal patterns with tools such as Human Design when clients are open to it, using those insights as supplemental material rather than the main therapy path.
Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients who want to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button. Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

Approaches used in online sessions and practical fit
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's own perspective and experience. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what the client says, and helps the client clarify priorities and choices. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space to sort through feelings and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change workplace habits. CBT works well for stress, anxiety, depression, and workplace or relationship patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term goals and what changes would feel meaningful soon. It uses brief, actionable steps that can be practiced between sessions to produce measurable progress on specific issues like communication or career decisions.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and how previous attempts have gone, then recommend a blend of approaches. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust methods together as needed.
Session format options are not listed in the provided biography, so confirm available online formats before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Discuss practical needs with the therapist to choose a session rhythm that fits daily life.
