About Alexandra
Alexandra Branca is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Rhode Island. She brings eight years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Alexandra emphasizes a warm, collaborative style so clients feel heard and understood from the first session.
She focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. That can look like setting small goals, practicing new ways to cope with strong emotions, or trying specific skills to sleep better and reduce worry.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and grounded in the client's day-to-day life. Alexandra also supports people facing grief, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and career stress. ADHD is listed among her areas of focus, and she helps clients address impulsivity, concentration challenges, and related frustrations.
She works with issues tied to relationships, communication problems, and the strain of major life changes. Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. She uses techniques from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused planning to fit each person's needs.
The aim is to build realistic routines and clearer choices that reduce overwhelm. People who reach out can expect a steady, empathetic presence and a focus on what changes will feel useful right now. Alexandra aims to help clients build resilience, improve self-esteem, and move toward goals that matter to them.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Alexandra uses cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, while ACT emphasizes accepting difficult feelings and committing to actions that match personal values.She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused methods that keep the work practical and goal oriented. Client-centered work centers on understanding each person's experience and building rapport, and solution-focused techniques help identify small, immediate steps to move toward clearer goals. Together these methods let the therapist and client try approaches and adjust based on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy with Alexandra is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging works well for brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy routines while exploring which approaches produce the best results.
