Alan Crandall, LMHC

Alan Crandall is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and anger. He also helps people dealing with relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, and problems with attention and impulsivity.

He prefers a direct, person-focused style in sessions. He listens for the practical problems that make daily life harder. Then he helps clients learn specific skills to manage emotions and improve interactions with others. Sessions often include straightforward talk, skill practice, and problem-solving steps.

Alan uses several evidence-informed methods to address intense feelings and difficult memories. He draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and on dialetical behavior approaches to manage strong emotions. He also uses client-centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the individual.

Work often starts with clear goals. Clients and the therapist track progress and try small changes between meetings. For people dealing with anger, that can mean learning ways to notice escalation, choose different responses, and repair relationships after an outburst.

Clients who value practical tools and steady guidance may find his style useful. He has experience with men and young adults and with a range of mood and trauma-related problems. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Florida.
