Background and approach
Alexandra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address substance use and patterns around food and sleep. She also helps people facing long-term health challenges or chronic pain to manage daily stress and regain a sense of control. She gives straightforward tools for coping and pacing progress.
In sessions she pays attention to how shame, guilt, and isolation affect choices and wellbeing. She helps people unpack self-critical thoughts and practice self-compassion. Multicultural concerns and identity issues are part of the work when relevant.
Alexandra supports people navigating complex personality-related patterns and the effects of narcissistic relationships. Her style is collaborative: she listens, offers feedback, and teaches coping strategies you can try between meetings. She encourages small, realistic steps toward better sleep, healthier eating patterns, and reduced substance use.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Two common evidence-based techniques used in practice are problem-focused cognitive strategies and behavioral interventions. Problem-focused cognitive strategies help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to test new ways of thinking; these methods are often used for depression and anxiety. Behavioral interventions target routines and habits such as sleep schedules, eating patterns, and substance use by breaking goals into manageable steps and tracking progress between sessions.Another approach centers on coping skills for grief and chronic illness, teaching emotion regulation, pacing, and self-compassion exercises. These tools aim to reduce overwhelm and provide concrete ways to manage difficult feelings and physical limitations.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or adapt methods together. Progress is reviewed regularly and techniques are adjusted when something is not working.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and teaching skills, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth or easier on days without video, and live chat or text messaging can work well for quick check-ins, coping prompts, or short updates between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and try different formats to see what helps most.
