She has held her Texas license since October 2016 and combines practical experience from both in-patient and outpatient settings to meet the needs of individuals across the lifespan.

She adapts counseling theories and techniques to fit each person's situation, working with youth and adults through both in-person sessions and telehealth. Her practice includes individual work and group counseling that explores themes such as acculturation, adjustment, behavior, goal-setting, self-esteem, self-harm, and trauma. This variety of settings and formats supports flexible responses to different challenges.

Alexandria works collaboratively with clients to help them identify strengths, regain confidence, and pursue personal goals. Her approach emphasizes tailoring clinical methods to what each person needs at a given time, drawing on approaches suited to stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, and related areas.

She aims to support people as they navigate difficult life transitions and emotional struggles, helping them build on their existing skills and discover new pathways toward growth and well-being.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and personal strengths. In this approach the therapist offers empathy and support while helping the client explore goals and values - it is often useful for building self-esteem, navigating life transitions, and improving decision-making.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT provides practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and mood difficulties by teaching skills that clients can apply between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people examine and reshape emotional responses within relationships. EFT can be helpful for couples and individuals working on attachment, communication, and relational patterns related to loneliness, abandonment, or family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandria collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains tailored and relevant.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how people connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access care around work, family, or geographic constraints and allow clients to continue therapeutic progress in formats that suit their daily lives.
