About Alexander

Alexander Gordon is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California who works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, relationship challenges, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

He draws on three years of clinical experience to create a collaborative space where clients can better understand patterns that contribute to low self-esteem, panic symptoms, grief, or difficulties with intimacy and sleep. Gordon’s approach is rooted in client-centered care informed by developmental psychology, which prioritizes careful listening and a respectful, nonjudgmental stance.

He integrates evidence-based strategies from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies alongside attachment-focused and existential perspectives, tailoring interventions to each person’s situation. Initial sessions emphasize building a holistic picture of a client’s life and co-creating concrete goals that guide subsequent work.

He also attends to related concerns such as communication problems, caregiver stress, impulsivity, substance use issues, and feelings of isolation. Sessions are offered through a range of online formats to accommodate different schedules, and fees vary by location and therapist availability with a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Integrative Approaches for Online Care

Alexander often blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and respect for each person’s experience, creating space to explore emotions and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related patterns, and mood concerns. Attachment-based therapy examines relational patterns formed over time and helps people understand how early bonds influence current relationships and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions begin with careful assessment and goal-setting so that strategies are selected and adjusted together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support between sessions. These formats can make it easier to access consistent care while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to apply evidence-based approaches in ways that suit each client’s lifestyle.
