About Alexandria
Alexandria "Alex" Tan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with seven years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. Alex also pays attention to family of origin issues and attachment concerns when those patterns appear in adult life.
Alex uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people notice and change repeating patterns from their upbringing. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday skills. Conversations look at how expectations from childhood affect current relationships and emotional responses.
Her background includes working across community settings with people facing a range of challenges. That experience informs a direct, flexible way of working rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Clients learn techniques for managing overwhelming feelings and for improving how they relate to others.
In sessions she helps people build better boundaries, address communication problems, and manage caregiver stress or compassion fatigue that can follow from helping roles. She also supports those coping with substance use concerns, control issues, or feelings of emptiness by focusing on practical steps and small changes.
People who work with Alex usually create a clear plan together for what to try between sessions. She asks concrete questions, helps name patterns tied to family of origin issues, and works on skills that can be used day to day. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when patterns from family life keep repeating. DBT skills teach specific ways to manage intense emotions and to improve communication in heated moments.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, current struggles, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she and the client decide which techniques to try and adjust them as needed in follow-up sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings between sessions while keeping scheduling flexible.
