How Alexandra works
Her background includes support for career stress, sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. She also brings experience addressing aging and geriatric issues, cancer and chronic illness, caregiver stress, and end-of-life topics. This range helps when emotional challenges are connected to health or caregiving demands.
Therapy combines short-term goal work with deeper, values-driven change. Techniques may include noticing unhelpful thoughts, building practical routines, and clarifying what matters most to the person. Sessions are paced to fit each person’s readiness and daily life.

Online support options
How her approaches fit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It often includes noticing unhelpful thoughts and committing to actions that match personal priorities, which can reduce avoidance and increase daily meaning.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and skill practice to change how people respond to anxiety, low mood, sleep struggles, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and pace. She checks in and adapts techniques as needs change so therapy stays useful and focused.
Online sessions give flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when interaction helps, while phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and health routines, while keeping focus on practical steps and real-life change.
