About Alan
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.
