About
Alan Warner, LISW, LCSW, began his career as a Chemical Dependency Counselor in 1995 and later earned an MSW in Clinical Social Work from Ohio State in 2002, a graduate degree focused on helping people improve mental health and overall functioning. He has been a Licensed Independent Social Worker since 2005 and brings 30 years of experience supporting adults and some teenagers, with a primary focus on depression, anxiety, and mood-related concerns.
His work is grounded in a holistic view of wellness, where counseling is one meaningful part of building a healthier life and strengthening a sense of personal empowerment and purpose. He often helps clients look at patterns shaped by early experiences, including family-of-origin dynamics, and supports them in loosening the grip of long-standing thoughts and behaviors that can interfere with the quality of life they want.
Alan is trauma-informed, comfortable working with members of the LGBT community, and experienced in helping people navigate grief and loss. His approach is client-driven, shaped by what each person wants to change, understand, or move toward. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop practical tools, clarify values, and take steps toward meaningful, sustainable change.

Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Alan Warner, LISW, LCSW, uses practical, client-driven methods that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new responses, which can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, depression, or mood shifts start to affect daily life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while building actions that align with personal values. This can be a good fit for people who feel stuck, are coping with grief or loss, or want to move forward after trauma while creating a life that feels more meaningful. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions oriented toward strengths, goals, and small, workable steps, which can support momentum during life transitions or relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alan collaborates with clients to understand what they want to change, what has or has not helped before, and what pace feels sustainable, then adjusts the work to match their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility without losing structure. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay consistent, revisit tools between sessions, and get support in a format that fits real-life schedules.
