About Alexandra
Alexandra Valencia helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or problems with relationships and intimacy. She also supports those managing trauma, addiction, parenting strain, sleep trouble, anger, self-esteem concerns, and life changes. Alexandra is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with nine years of clinical experience.
She speaks English and Spanish and practices from Florida. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what small steps feel doable.
How Alexandra works
She uses a mix of tools from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance strategies, attachment-focused perspectives, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Conversations are guided by the client's goals and paced to fit each person. Alexandra has worked with people around maternal and infant mental health, substance use issues, trauma, anxiety, and depression.
She draws on that background to tailor support when grief, parenting stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, or compassion fatigue show up. She also helps people notice patterns in communication, control needs, and attachment style. Therapy sessions may include practical exercises, emotion regulation skills, and attention to relationships that affect day-to-day life.
She aims to help people build routines and coping strategies that fit busy lives. Progress is tracked through concrete steps and regular check-ins. Alexandra invites people to bring what feels hardest to talk about and to work at a pace that feels manageable.
She helps navigate setbacks and celebrates small changes that add up over time.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to sit with difficult feelings. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life transitions make action feel impossible. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and works to change how people relate to others and to themselves. This can be useful for communication problems, intimacy issues, and attachment worries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with clients to decide which methods feel most useful. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation time, while phone sessions work well when less bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short skill practice, or when scheduling a full session is difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other busy schedules.
