About Alexander
Alexander Gordon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with three years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and issues around intimacy and grief. Alexander works with adults who want help managing mood, impulse problems, sleep, or parenting strain.
He begins by listening closely to understand a person's life and patterns. Early sessions aim to map what’s causing distress and establish clear, achievable goals. He uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective.
Alexander integrates several therapeutic methods rather than relying on a single model. He commonly uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, attachment-informed ideas to look at relationship patterns, and mindfulness techniques to calm intense emotions. He also draws on dialectical and existential ideas when they fit a client’s concerns.
Sessions are collaborative. He and the client decide which tools to try and adjust them based on what works. Practical skills - for example, coping tools for panic or behavioral steps for reducing substance use - are combined with longer conversations about meaning and relationships.
People can expect straightforward, paced therapy that moves between skills practice and reflective work. He asks questions, checks in on homework, and revisits goals as progress unfolds. Alexander conducts work in English and does not accept international clients at this time.

How his approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationship patterns affect how people connect and feel secure. It is useful for people worried about trust, intimacy, or repeating painful interaction patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small, concrete changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and habits like smoking or vaping. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to select methods that fit their goals and preferences. That plan can change as progress or new issues emerge, and sessions will include both skill practice and reflective discussion. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats are not listed in his biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If a client prefers less visual contact, options such as audio-only can reduce bandwidth needs and feel simpler for some people; check which formats are offered when scheduling. The focus is on finding a rhythm that fits daily life while using CBT and attachment ideas to tackle specific problems.Sheet 3
