About Alexandra
Alexandra Degirolamo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. She has nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and major life changes. Alexandra focuses on clear, direct conversations and practical steps people can use between sessions.
Her approach is respectful and compassionate. She adapts sessions to each person's needs, shaping the conversation and plan around goals like improving self-esteem, managing mood shifts, or coping with loss.
How Alexandra works
She helps people sort through relationship and intimacy concerns, family tensions, and issues around parenting and fatherhood. Alexandra also addresses patterns such as codependency, impulsivity, control issues, and communication problems. She works with people facing eating and body image difficulties, substance use, hoarding, dissociation, and shame or guilt.
She offers ways to rebuild motivation and steady daily routines when depression, bipolar symptoms, or burnout make that hard. Sessions are designed to be straightforward and goal-focused. Alexandra supports people who are dealing with grief, career uncertainty, or compassion fatigue, and she helps clients find practical coping skills for anxiety and ADHD-related struggles.
She emphasizes small, achievable changes that add up. People who choose her can expect a collaborative process where they set the pace. Alexandra aims to empower each person to make decisions that match their values and life demands.

Evidence-based approaches and online support
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on teaching practical skills and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach emphasizes structured problem solving and coping strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress; this helps people break big problems into smaller, doable steps. Another approach focuses on recognizing and shifting patterns in thinking and behavior that contribute to depression, low self-esteem, or unhealthy relationship habits; it helps people test new ways of acting and thinking to see what works. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most. She involves clients in choosing homework, pacing, and the focus of sessions so the plan fits their life and needs. Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick updates, brief coping prompts, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.Start online instead of waiting
