About Allan
Allan Herem is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 23 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment, caregiver stress, commitment struggles, and communication problems.
Allan uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people name their patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions typically involve talking through recent interactions, learning concrete skills for communication and emotion regulation, and planning small experiments people can try between meetings. He pays attention to how family of origin and past relationships shape current behavior and feelings.
People often come for help after a breakup, during a difficult separation, or when guilt, shame, or emptiness make daily life harder. Allan offers practical ways to address impulsivity, affairs or infidelity issues, and challenges in fatherhood or caregiving roles. He also supports people working through forgiveness and rebuilding trust when possible.
His work with relationship concerns includes helping individuals clarify boundaries, practice clearer communication, and decide next steps when commitments feel uncertain. For anxiety and stress he focuses on manageable skill-building rather than long lectures. Allan encourages steady progress through small, achievable practice.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Allan works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people recognize patterns from past relationships and how those patterns affect current behavior; it uses conversations and targeted exercises to alter unhelpful responses. Another approach centers on skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching pacing, grounding, and short behavioral experiments that reduce avoidance and build confidence in social situations.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Allan treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts techniques based on the person’s goals, daily life, and what they find most useful in practice. He talks through options and tries small steps to see what helps most.
