About Alexander
Alexander Gordon is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage strong emotions and life stress. He works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and major life changes. He aims to create an easy, nonjudgmental way to talk about what’s happening now.
He begins by listening closely in the first sessions to understand a person's day-to-day struggles and history. From there he collaborates with each person to set clear, practical goals for therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what feels most urgent and what can change between appointments. His background includes developmental psychology, which shapes how he thinks about patterns that start early and show up in adult life. He uses that perspective to look at how relationships, attachment, and past experiences affect mood and behavior today.
That can help when anger, impulsivity, or addiction are causing repeated problems. Alexander blends several simple approaches to fit each person’s situation. He draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, client-centered listening to validate feelings, and mindfulness strategies to steady attention and reduce reactivity.
He adjusts methods so therapy feels practical and relevant. He is based in California and works in English. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, he brings three years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people build better coping skills, repair relationships, and find clearer direction in life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current behavior and feelings. Online work using this approach helps people notice connection patterns that affect anger, trust, and intimacy and develop new ways of relating.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, acceptance, and the client's own goals. In remote sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify choices and priorities in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alexander will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as needs shift and skills grow.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, skill practice, and written reflections that fit into busy schedules. These formats make it easier to keep momentum between appointments and to practice new skills in real life.
