In the room she is supportive and direct. Conversations aim to identify what is not working and try small, doable changes. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools to build skills for calmer thinking and steadier behavior.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Alexandra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and she includes mindfulness practices alongside those approaches. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new, practical behaviors to reduce distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication to help with intense emotions and impulsive behaviors. Mindfulness methods teach present-moment noticing and simple calming practices that support both therapy work and daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra will talk with each person about goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and preferences for therapy methods. Together they decide which tools to try and revisit plans as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. Therapists can adapt CBT exercises, DBT skills coaching, and mindfulness practices to remote meetings so the work can continue even when meeting remotely.
