About
Alex Blankenstein is an LCMHC based in Utah who draws on ten years of clinical practice to support people working through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. He holds a particular focus on areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, compulsive sexual behavior, and post-traumatic stress, while also addressing concerns like communication problems, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
He blends a values-centered framework with practical self-regulation skills and attention to the stories that keep people stuck. Alex describes a process that includes values clarification, developing regulation strategies, and rewriting limiting beliefs to encourage forward movement. His practice includes work with teens through adults and covers topics from trauma healing to growth mindset and sexual health.
Outside of therapy, Alex is a husband and father of three boys and brings interests in ultra-endurance athletics, backcountry adventure, woodworking, and low-stakes humor into a down-to-earth clinical style. He aims to help people accept and integrate all parts of themselves so they may feel more whole, empowered, and free to pursue meaningful change.
Remote work grounded in values clarification and self-regulation
Alex offers online sessions that center on a stepwise process of values clarification, self-regulation practice, and rewriting limiting beliefs. Values clarification helps a person identify what matters most and use those priorities to guide decisions. Self-regulation work focuses on teaching gentle skills to manage strong emotions and impulses so a person can respond rather than react.
For those addressing compulsive sexual behavior, trauma, or relationship difficulties, Alex applies trauma healing and growth-oriented conversation to explore patterns and build alternative responses. He frames change as collaborative work where therapist and client notice the stories that limit choice and then test new ways of living that align with stated values.
Online offerings include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their needs and comfort. Sessions aim to combine practical tools with reflective work so clients and clinician can track progress together.What is Alex's clinical experience?
