About Alexandria
Dr. Alexandria Arthur is a licensed counselor with a Doctoral Degree in Mental Health and ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Virginia and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression.
She describes therapy as a collaborative effort and aims to offer respectful and compassionate care. Her work focuses on problems that often feel overwhelming day to day. She helps people manage panic, low mood, relationship strain, and struggles with self-esteem.
How Alexandria works
She also supports people coping with major life changes, grief, addictions, and intimacy-related concerns. Dr. Arthur uses a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs.
She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting space and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when those fit the issue at hand. Sessions are practical and goal oriented.
Conversations typically include checking current problems, learning new coping skills, and trying small changes between sessions. The therapist and client shape the plan together so it fits the client's life and goals. Her background emphasizes respectful listening and tailoring care to each person's situation.
People who want clear tools for emotion regulation, better communication, or help moving through loss may find this style helpful. Dr. Arthur aims to support each step toward better daily functioning and greater confidence.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect trust and closeness. Online sessions can help people name those patterns and practice new ways of relating in current partnerships or friendships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In remote sessions clients learn to spot unhelpful thoughts, test new ideas, and try small behavioral experiments between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with client-centered conversation, adding CBT skills, or bringing in attachment-focused exercises as trust grows.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for fuller interaction, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for short check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and allow quick check-ins for skill practice between longer sessions.
