About Alexander
Alexander Bauman is a licensed social worker who focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anger, and address addictions. He holds LISW and LMSW credentials and brings nine years of clinical experience to his work. He speaks English and sees clients from Illinois and several other states virtually, including international clients when arrangements allow.
In sessions he uses straightforward methods drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people handle anxiety, relationship strain, and depression.
Background and approach
He often mixes behavioral tools and role-play to practice different responses in real time. Clients can expect clear, goal-focused conversations and direct feedback to support steady progress. Alexander’s background includes work with people facing dual-diagnosis substance use and mental health needs in inpatient settings.
That experience shaped his practical approach and his interest in combining therapies to match each person’s situation. He is comfortable bringing in exercises from books, podcasts, and other resources when they add value. He describes his style as caring, creative, and goal-oriented.
Sessions are built around small, achievable steps so changes feel manageable. He watches for opportunities to help clients notice progress and build resilience. Outside of work he enjoys travel, grilling, and time with family and friends.
He also brings interests from his personal life into therapy when those examples help illustrate a new perspective or skill.
What Alexander works with
Everything Alexander lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Alexander's practice.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Alexander often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT uses practical exercises and worksheets to change patterns that feed anxiety, anger, and low mood.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. ACT helps people move forward even when difficult emotions are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may mean trying a few methods and adjusting as progress is made.
Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy days and remove travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, use role-play or worksheets during the session, and keep continuity while life is busy. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and how they will work for your schedule.
