About Alan
Alan Warner helps people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship or intimacy problems. He works with adults on issues such as grief, parenting strain, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes. He also supports people facing trauma, LGBTQ issues, bipolar mood challenges, and struggles with anger or impulsivity.
He trained as a Chemical Dependency Counselor and earned a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. He holds licenses as an LISW in Ohio and an LCSW in Pennsylvania and brings 30 years of experience to his practice.
Background and approach
He has spent much of his career helping adults, and some teenagers, who are managing mood disorders and related concerns. Alan uses straightforward approaches in sessions. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns.
He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small committed steps toward them. He favors a solution-focused, client-centered style that keeps the person’s goals at the center. Sessions typically involve talking through what is getting in the way, trying practical steps, and checking what works.
He includes work on family of origin patterns when those old habits keep showing up. People can expect a calm, practical clinician who blends direct skill teaching with listening. His aim is to help people let go of limiting habits and build a life that fits their priorities.

Online support
How online therapy and practical approaches work together
Alan draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior with small experiments, which helps with anxiety, depression, and mood challenges. ACT helps people get clearer on what matters to them and take value-based steps even when difficult feelings remain, which is useful for grief, addiction, and life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That might mean using CBT skills for one concern and ACT strategies for another, or mixing solution-focused steps when quick problem-solving is needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit a short conversation into a busy day. These options help people access therapy from different locations and schedules.
