About Alexandria
Alexandria Lara is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She emphasizes a person-centered approach and works alongside people to help them regain confidence and move toward their goals. Her style is direct, warm, and focused on practical steps a client can use between sessions.
She draws on eight years of experience in both in-patient and outpatient settings. That background includes individual counseling for adults and youth, telehealth work, and leading group counseling that addresses acculturation, adjustment, behavior, goal-setting, self-esteem, self-harm, and trauma. These settings inform how she tailors sessions to each person's needs.
In sessions she adapts therapy methods to the situation. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the client's perspective and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relational and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness approaches are used to help manage stress, anxiety, mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Alexandria helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem and identity. She also works with concerns such as codependency, abandonment, attachment issues, and communication problems.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. She asks questions, listens for strengths, and suggests small, doable steps that fit into everyday life. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
Approaches You Can Use in Online Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's perspective at the heart of the work. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify their own goals and strengths. This approach can help someone who feels stuck or unsure where to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) addresses patterns in attachment and emotional connection. It helps people notice and change interaction patterns that cause pain and loneliness, and it can be useful when working through abandonment or attachment-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and comfort level. She may combine techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as session options are arranged through the scheduling process. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow consistent check-ins during challenging periods. Talk with the therapist during the matching and scheduling steps to clarify how sessions will be arranged and what will work best for daily routines.
