About Alexander
Rev. Alexander Yoo, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), is licensed in California and has practiced for 26 years. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and life changes. He describes his work as change-oriented with a focus on meaning-making and big life questions, and offers a mix of listening and direct feedback depending on what a person needs in the moment.
Yoo frames some sessions more like life coaching when in-depth therapy tools are not a fit for the platform he is using. He says he can listen, give advice, or offer feedback as requested. He aims to help people get relief and more clarity about goals and transitions in their life.
He brings additional background as an ordained clergyperson with a Master of Divinity and experience as a hospice chaplain. He notes that spiritual, religious, or philosophical themes can be included when clients wish to explore them. He also states openness to a wide range of cultural and belief backgrounds, including earth-based and alternative systems.
His clinical approaches include Existential Therapy, EMDR, Jungian Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These are woven into a practical style that addresses both immediate problems and larger questions about meaning.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values, and life choices. It helps when someone is facing big transitions or questions about purpose. EMDR is a structured approach designed to help process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.Choosing an approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and together they will decide which methods to try. That conversation guides whether a session leans toward exploring meaning, processing trauma, or using practical coaching techniques.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will collaborate on pacing and structure so sessions fit a client’s daily life and goals.
