About Alexandra
Alexandra Barchitta helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or struggles with substance use. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. Alexandra writes in a direct, down-to-earth way and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful from the first meeting.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a multicultural feminist perspective. Sessions focus on practical skills you can use between appointments, clearer communication, and making choices that fit personal values.
How Alexandra works
She also brings attention to how identity and culture shape emotional life. Alexandra has particular experience supporting people dealing with addiction and with concerns related to sexual orientation and gender identity. She also works with people coping with chronic pain or illness, attachment and abandonment issues, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or shame.
Other focus areas include family of origin wounds, communication problems, and forgiveness. Therapy can include short-term skill building or longer work on deeper patterns. Sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
She provides care in English and practices as an NY LMHC. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a brief matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to availability. Alexandra has four years of clinical experience supporting people through practical steps toward feeling better.

Approaches and what online therapy can do for you
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage symptoms and build new skills. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teach practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical approaches add tools for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation and communication. These approaches are useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and problems with substance use or self-destructive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandra will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit those goals and personal preferences. She tailors techniques to a person's situation and checks in regularly to adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to keep consistent contact when life is hectic.
