She aims to create a calm, direct space to talk about difficult topics like trauma, addiction, and intimacy-related issues. Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs.
The focus is on building skills that make day-to-day life more manageable.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Alexandra commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. DBT teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without making things worse.She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help with attention, stress reduction, and grounding during difficult moments. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills with worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and messaging work well for brief coaching, skill reminders, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work moving between sessions.
