Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Alexandra primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many problem-focused concerns. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a skills-based approach that teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and relationship challenges. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support coping with anxiety, trauma responses, and ongoing stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alexandra collaborates with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts techniques so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model. This collaborative process helps identify which strategies are most useful at different stages of treatment.
Online therapy with Alexandra offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from home or on the go. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, accommodate varying schedules, and access support in ways that suit individual lifestyles and comfort levels.
