About Alexander
Alexander Gordon is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He works with people facing depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, and life changes. He aims to create a calm and respectful space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.
He begins by listening closely to understand a person's daily life and history. Early sessions focus on building a shared view of current problems and setting clear, practical goals. Sessions are collaborative - the client and therapist work together on next steps.
Alexander draws from several approaches to shape sessions to each person. He uses client-centered methods to follow a person’s priorities and integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and attention to attachment patterns are added when they fit the work.
His background includes training in developmental psychology, which helps him notice how patterns formed earlier in life affect present relationships and mood. He also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills when needed.
People seeking help with low mood, panic, addiction, or a sense of being stuck can expect plain talk, practical tools, and step-by-step planning. Alexander aims to tailor each session to realistic goals and to the pace that feels right for the client.
