About Alan

Alan Kahn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and holds LCPC and MD credentials. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, anger, or problems with intimacy. He speaks plainly and aims to create a direct, dependable working relationship with each person he sees.

Alan emphasizes a practical, down-to-earth style. He listens first, then helps people name the problems that are getting in the way.

Background and approach

He frames therapy as a chance to rewrite a life story so the client becomes the main character rather than a bystander. In sessions he uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person. He also draws on existential ideas to talk about meaning, purpose, and choices when life feels confusing or empty.

Together, those approaches help with panic, social anxiety, loneliness, and the impact of past hurt. Alan brings a teaching background to his clinical work and explains things in simple terms. He describes steps to manage symptoms and practical strategies for day-to-day coping.

He pairs problem-solving with deeper conversations about values and identity. People who do best with Alan tend to want straightforward feedback and a therapist who will be honest and caring. He offers communication that is respectful and unpretentious, and he aims to help clients leave therapy with clearer goals and workable next steps.

Online support

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and following the client’s lead. Online sessions give space for that same attentive listening, letting the therapist respond to what matters most in the moment and help clients feel heard. This approach helps with anxiety, grief, loneliness, and relationship concerns.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice, and personal responsibility. In online conversations this can look like guided reflection on life goals, values, and the decisions that shape daily living. It often helps people facing life transitions, questions of purpose, or persistent feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working until a fit is found. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted to what the client needs over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep conversations going when in-person visits are not practical.
