Approaches used online and how they help
Alexandra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT breaks big problems into smaller, practical steps and teaches skills people can use between sessions.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on setting specific, achievable goals and tracking small changes. This approach is useful when someone wants quick, practical adjustments at work, in relationships, or during life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those needs. She checks in and adapts strategies based on what is helping and what is not.
