About Alejandra

Alejandra Danta offers calm, practical support for people struggling with codependency, relationships and addiction. She writes simply and listens closely so concerns can be named quickly. Sessions aim to help people feel less stuck and find clearer next steps they can try between meetings.

Alejandra holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration shown in her profile. She has three years of clinical experience and works in English and Spanish. She accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom.

Her approach draws on a few well known methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and take small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when unhelpful thoughts and behaviours need changing. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Sessions are collaborative. Alejandra focuses on listening, asking clear questions and offering practical suggestions people can try between sessions. For trauma or intense memories she may draw on eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing techniques alongside other approaches.

People contact her for addictions, relationship and intimacy struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, and related areas such as abandonment, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image and communication problems. The work aims to reduce overwhelm, increase clarity and support more reliable choices in everyday life.

How online approaches and methods can help

Alejandra uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take practical steps aligned with those values. ACT is helpful for codependency and relationship stress because it focuses on small, doable actions rather than only analysing feelings.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current behaviour. This approach can help someone understand repeated cycles around trust, closeness or withdrawal. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and actions, which can be useful for anxiety, anger and addiction-related behaviours.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity with a therapist when moving between locations or countries.
