About Alan
Alan works with a wide range of issues, including attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication and commitment problems, dissociation, family of origin difficulties, and substance use challenges. His practice emphasizes evidence-informed methods such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused approaches, tailoring interventions to each person’s goals and life context.
Sessions are offered through multiple remote formats so people can access support in ways that fit their schedules and needs. Alan’s style aims to be straightforward, empathetic, and collaborative, helping individuals develop coping skills, strengthen relationships, and navigate complex emotional and behavioral patterns.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that helps people explore their values and goals while therapists follow the client's lead. This approach is useful for building trust, improving self-understanding, and addressing relationship and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related challenges by teaching practical coping and problem-solving skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to strengthen emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance, which can be helpful for intense emotions, self-destructive patterns, and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Alan collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapts techniques from these approaches to form a personalized plan that fits the person’s life and challenges.
Online therapy with Alan includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for those managing busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, chronic illness, or mobility limits. These remote options make it easier to maintain consistent care and practice skills between sessions with licensed professionals and therapists who integrate evidence-based methods.
