Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I’m Alan Romano, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I believe that many of the struggles we experience are understandable responses to life experiences rather than signs that something is inherently wrong with us.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and later completed training in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness-based practices, psychodynamic principles, and attachment theory. Rather than following a single model, I tailor therapy to each person's unique needs, experiences, and goals.

In therapy, we'll work together to understand not only what is happening in your life today, but also how your experiences, relationships, and nervous system have shaped the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you build insight, strengthen resilience, and develop practical skills that support meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you're navigating trauma, addiction, grief, burnout, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, I strive to provide a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the healing process.

Hello! I have over 25 years of experience walking alongside individuals through both challenging and transformative moments. I believe people heal best when they feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients can safely explore their emotions, experiences, and personal growth without judgment.

I help individuals build resilience, expand their capacity to tolerate distress, and strengthen emotional regulation skills that support long-term well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. I believe meaningful change happens over time, and I work to support clients in growing at a pace that feels both safe and empowering.
