About Alexandra
Alexandra brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. She focuses on building safety and trust, and she encourages clear communication about goals. Her approach blends several methods so each plan fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single model.
In the therapy room she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns shape current relationships. Dialectical behavior techniques and acceptance and commitment strategies appear in her work when they suit the client's goals.
Her background includes experience in maternal and infant mental health, substance use concerns, anxiety, depression, and trauma. That range informs how she supports people navigating parenting stresses, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, and recovery from traumatic events.
Clients can expect a collaborative process where the therapist listens, suggests practical skills, and checks in about progress. The focus is on small, doable changes that make day-to-day life more manageable and help people move toward the life they want.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and times of major life change when values get unclear.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. This approach helps people understand repeating patterns in partnerships and communication problems and work toward healthier interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose or blend methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Alexandra uses her clinical approaches to support people through stress, trauma, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes, and she adapts exercises so they work in remote sessions. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and worksheets between meetings to practice skills.
