SessionGlance began as a collaboration and a friendship between two psychologists, Dr. Alexander Krieg and Dr. Carter Comrie, who met during their clinical internship in Washington State. Their shared curiosity about how technology could illuminate the therapeutic process led them to explore new ways of combining psychology and machine learning. What began as a conversation between colleagues grew into a joint project—transforming curiosity into a platform that helps clinicians better understand, document, and communicate the work that happens in therapy.
SessionGlance continues to reflect that friendship and shared purpose, using technology not only to reduce barriers but to strengthen human connection and elevate the quality of care.
Dr. Alexander (“Xander”) Krieg is a licensed clinical psychologist and co-founder of SessionGlance. Trained in both clinical science and cultural psychology, Dr. Krieg combines his background in psychotherapy with a self-taught passion for coding and machine learning—bringing together the precision of data science and the depth of human understanding.
Before founding SessionGlance, Dr. Krieg co-developed Emosta, an early-stage emotional analytics platform that examined how subtle shifts in facial expressions reflect changes in emotion and mental states. Working on that project shaped his conviction that technology in mental health should refine human insight rather than replace it. This principle guided the creation of SessionGlance, a platform built not merely to save time, but to help clinicians and clients alike see their therapeutic work with renewed clarity and depth.
Dr. Krieg’s work lives at the crossroads of psychology and technology. He continues to investigate how natural language processing and computational modeling can reveal new dimensions of psychological insight. His ongoing projects seek to integrate these innovations into everyday clinical practice in ways that remain grounded, ethical, and human-centered.
