Alexander "Alex" Dannin, LMFT

Alexander "Alex" Dannin is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He focuses on helping people regain balance when stress, anxiety, or major life shifts leave them feeling stuck or empty. Alex uses straightforward, practical conversation to help clients clarify what matters most to them and move toward those goals.

He centers work on how feelings point to beliefs and behaviors that can be changed. Alex listens for the stories people tell themselves and then helps them test new ways of thinking and acting. Sessions aim to translate insight into clear steps clients can try between meetings.

Alex combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix lets him pair empathic listening with goal-focused tools and skill building. He adjusts his approach to each person's needs rather than applying a single method to everyone.

With ten years of clinical experience and a background in IT and finance, Alex brings both practical problem solving and emotional understanding to sessions. He has worked with people from a range of backgrounds and life situations and applies that range to help when careers, relationships, self-worth, or financial stress feel overwhelming.

People seeking help for midlife changes, career transitions, relationship strain, or feelings of emptiness will find work that combines clear goals with attention to emotional experience. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy flow and complete the matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and make sense of their emotions so they can choose next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on small, concrete goals and the steps that produce change quickly, which can be useful during career shifts or midlife transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alex will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also support shorter check-ins, focused skills work, or paced homework review between sessions to help people practice changes in everyday routines.
