About Alexandria
Alexandria "Alex" Tan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are aimed at practical, moment-to-moment problems and everyday pressures from work, caregiving, and family roles.
Alex uses a mix of evidence-based approaches rather than a single method. She draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along with other clinical ideas to focus on skills, thoughts, and behavior that can change daily life. Conversations typically focus on what is getting in the way and what can be tried next.
Her background includes work in community mental health settings and other public systems, where she supported people facing substance use, mood concerns, trauma, and unstable housing. That experience shapes a straightforward style that connects clinical ideas to practical steps. Alex pays attention to caregiver strain and compassion fatigue for people in helping roles.
In sessions she helps people build clearer communication, manage intense emotions, and set boundaries that fit their lives. She also addresses attachment patterns, blended family stress, body image, and issues tied to family of origin. Work on forgiveness, control, and feelings of emptiness is handled with concrete tools and skills.
Sessions are conducted in English and for people located in California. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Alex commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and test new ways of acting. CBT is practical and focuses on step-by-step changes in behavior and thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and relationship stress.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. DBT-informed techniques can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when interactions repeatedly lead to conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means experimenting, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together based on what the client reports.

They can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or remove the need to be on camera depending on the format offered by the therapist.
