About Alan
Alan Wong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, attention challenges, addictions, grief, sleep difficulties, and self-esteem concerns.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a central approach. Sessions focus on practical strategies people can try between meetings. He guides conversations toward manageable steps for coping with work, relationships, and day-to-day demands.

The work tends to blend problem-solving with clearer thinking about emotions and behaviors.
He has experience assisting people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, control and commitment issues, and reactions to disasters. First responder issues and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns are also part of his practice focus. Sessions typically move at a steady, practical pace with specific goals.

BHow sessions work
How CBT is used in online sessions and what to expect
Alan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary method. CBT means looking at thoughts, feelings, and actions together and practicing different ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and stress-related concerns.Sessions emphasize clear, usable skills. That can include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing new behaviors in everyday situations, and setting small goals between meetings. The approach aims to give people concrete steps they can try outside sessions to see what helps most.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as progress is observed. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide which CBT techniques or related strategies to use.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about session length, timing, and any technical details when you schedule to find what fits your routine.
