Alan Crandall, LMHC

Alan Crandall is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. He focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, mood challenges, and trouble with communication. His style is direct and caring, aimed at making therapy feel understandable and practical.

He uses straightforward talk and listening to learn what matters most to each person. Sessions often involve learning concrete skills for emotion regulation and ways to handle conflict or impulsivity. He also addresses grief, anger, self-esteem, and issues connected to attention differences and mood disorders.

Alan blends several therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs. He draws on client-centered work to keep the focus on the individual’s goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and elements from trauma-focused methods to process difficult memories. Motivational interviewing can be part of the work when making life changes feels stalled.

Over eleven years of practice, he has supported people through relationship strains, infidelity, jealousy, guilt, and shame. He helps clients build coping skills and clearer communication habits. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How his approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. It helps people set their own goals and feel heard while deciding what to work on together.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear skills for spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and managing mood swings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds practical tools for managing intense emotions and impulsivity, including techniques for distress tolerance and better emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That planning can change as therapy progresses and new needs appear.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, help with shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time.
