Alexandria "Alex" Tan, LCSW

Alexandria "Alex" Tan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. She commonly supports those juggling caregiving roles and the specific strain that can bring. Alex writes plainly and listens carefully so people can say what is on their mind and feel heard.

With seven years of experience, Alex has worked alongside people from many backgrounds and life paths. She has experience in settings such as correctional facilities and community mental health, and with people who have dealt with homelessness, foster care, trauma, and substance use. That background gives her a practical sense of what day-to-day recovery looks like.

Her style is flexible and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals, problem-solving, and building skills you can use between meetings. She helps people reconnect with inner strength, rebuild confidence, and find meaning after burnout or loss.

Alex draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match the work to each person. In practice that means she will talk through patterns, teach coping strategies, and help you try small experiments to see what changes feel useful.

People who come for support can expect a calm, straightforward space to sort through worries and plan next steps. The emphasis is on practical steps and steady progress, paced to what feels manageable for each person.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Alex frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in clear, practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors link and teaches simple skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action, helping people notice painful thoughts while choosing small actions that move life toward what matters.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than assuming one method fits everyone.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not feasible, and it gives flexibility for people who need to schedule around caregiving or work shifts. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to fit everyday life while working toward steady progress.
