About Alan

Alan Wong is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. He works to create a straightforward, respectful space where people can talk about what feels urgent and find practical ways to change day-to-day life. Alan has 14 years of experience and practices in California as an LCSW.

Alan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a problem-focused approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. He adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all script. Sessions emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings to test what works.

His background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as anger, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and career stress. He also addresses issues tied to attachment, abandonment, family of origin, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and first responder challenges. That variety helps him pull from concrete tools that match the situation.

Alan aims for direct, respectful dialogue and steady support. He encourages people to set realistic goals and to try small changes that add up over time. Many clients find that focused practice on thought patterns and everyday routines leads to clearer choices and fewer stuck moments.

If someone wants to explore working together, Alan asks for a short match questionnaire and a scheduling step to begin sessions. He accepts English-speaking and international clients, and works with a subscription plan that can be canceled at any time.

How CBT-guided online therapy can help

Alan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT focuses on small, testable changes and practical skills for coping with anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and anger. It breaks problems into manageable steps so progress is easier to track.

The right approach is decided together. Alan will work with each person to match goals, preferences, and daily routines to an approach that fits. That collaborative process means plans can shift as needs change and new challenges come up.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing commute time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also help people keep momentum between appointments by using skills in real contexts. Licensed professionals, including therapists, use these benefits to support steady progress without promising specific outcomes.
