About Alexandra

Alexandra Brink is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, family concerns, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Alexandra works with adults who want practical ways to manage strong emotions and everyday pressures.

She earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Therapy from Regent University and received her LPC in 2014. Early in her career she worked with children who had mood, behavior, or developmental differences. More recently she has concentrated on helping adults, especially with anxiety and related struggles.

Her in-session style for adults tends to be client-centered while staying solution-focused. That means she listens to where someone is and then helps build concrete steps forward. She uses behavioral techniques when coaching parenting skills and draws from several counseling methods to match a person’s needs.

Alexandra also pays attention to the whole person - body, mind, and spiritual concerns when relevant. She says balancing physical and mental health often affects progress, and she will bring that into conversations when it matters to the client.

Outside of work she spends part-time at home with her three children and has personal experience managing chronic illness for many years. That background influences how she talks about grief, life changes, and caregiver stress. She asks clients to start with a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How Alexandra uses common approaches in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist helps people clarify what matters to them and supports their own decision-making. This approach is useful for exploring why anger or relationship patterns keep showing up.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practices different responses to reduce anxiety or reactive anger. It often uses short exercises and behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice feelings without getting swept up by them. These skills can help reduce reactivity and build steadier responses in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will discuss clients' goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

Session practicalities should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the profile. In general, remote sessions can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the specific session options when completing the matching questionnaire so arrangements fit daily life.
