Alan Wong, LCSW

Alan Wong is a California LCSW with 14 years of professional experience. He focuses on practical, skills-based work for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and depression. Sessions are held in English and he accepts international clients.

Alan uses clear, behavior-focused methods to help people manage hot moments and steady sources of frustration. He prioritizes short-term tools people can use between sessions, such as changing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. This is hands-on work rather than abstract talk; sessions center on what to try differently and how to notice what works.

Clients often come with related concerns such as sleep problems, low self-esteem, substance issues, grief, or challenges at work. Alan also addresses attachment and family-of-origin problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and difficulties tied to first responder work. He breaks larger problems into specific steps people can practice week to week.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions to everyday problems. That framework helps clarify triggers for anger and build skills for managing reactions. Alan encourages experimenting with small changes and tracking results.

Sessions are straightforward and practical. People who want to reduce snapping at loved ones, handle workplace frustration, or stop resentment from building find focused strategies and regular check-ins. To start, readers are asked to use the site’s matching process and schedule a first session.
