About Alexander
Alexander "Alex" Dannin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who centers his work on helping people regain balance and purpose. He focuses on practical changes in thoughts, behaviors, and daily actions to ease feelings like sadness, anger, and anxiety. Alex speaks plainly and helps people notice what their emotions are pointing to so they can move forward.
Alex believes emotions are neutral signals that point to mismatches between how someone feels and who they want to be. He spends sessions identifying the beliefs behind those emotions and testing small changes that can shift how people think and act. The goal is to reconnect with a more peaceful, capable sense of self.
He blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. This lets him tailor sessions to the needs and goals of each person instead of using one fixed method. He also uses ideas from Human Design to offer another way of understanding personal strengths and patterns.
Alex practices in California and has about 10 years of professional experience in helping people make life changes. Before therapy, he worked in IT and finance, and later moved into mental health to support others through challenging transitions.
People come to him for help with relationship strain, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety, workplace struggles, anger, and coping with life changes. He frames progress as a series of small, testable steps and works collaboratively to find what fits for each person.
