About Alan
Alan Crandall is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. He works with adults who feel stuck by mood symptoms, relationship strain, or major life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals so people can start feeling more steady.
Alan brings 11 years of professional experience to therapy. He listens closely to what matters to each person and builds a plan from there.
Background and approach
His style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on improving communication, reducing isolation, and managing strong emotions like anger or panic. In sessions he uses techniques drawn from several approaches to meet real needs. That can mean learning new thinking and behavior patterns, practicing skills for emotion regulation, or processing upsetting memories.
He tailors choices to what the client wants to work on first. Alan places attention on self-worth and practical coping skills. He supports people through grief, relationship problems, issues around intimacy, and the frustrations that come with impulsivity or distractibility.
The work often includes small experiments and skill practice between sessions. He offers phone, video, chat, and messaging formats to fit different schedules and preferences. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on therapist availability.
The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How Alan’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. It emphasizes building trust and following the client’s priorities so the work stays relevant to daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing impulsivity or ADHD-related patterns by practicing new habits between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Those skills help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationship problems keep recurring.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will explore goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging to match different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins, written reflections, or convenient skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
