About Alex
He has substantial experience working with addictions and anger management, and he often supports clients facing co-occurring concerns such as mood disorders, panic, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Alex approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, aiming to understand how symptoms fit into the broader story of a life and relationships.
Therapy with Alex is collaborative and individualized. He tailors conversations and treatment plans to each client’s specific needs and goals, addressing issues like impulse control, guilt and shame, men’s concerns, and recovery from substance use. He recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and affirms that taking that first step is meaningful and worth acknowledging.
Evidence-Based Care and the Flexibility of Online Sessions
Alex uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to problems like addiction, anger, depression, and trauma. One approach focuses on practical skill-building to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, helping clients reduce symptoms and respond differently in stressful moments. Another approach emphasizes motivational work to strengthen readiness for change and support recovery from substance use and impulsive behaviors. He also integrates trauma-informed practices that prioritize stabilization, grounding, and gradual processing for people affected by abuse or other traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alex works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Alex is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support, maintain momentum between sessions, and engage in therapy from locations that work best for the client.
