About Alexandra

Alexandra Garrison is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with addictions, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her practice also focuses on control issues that can underlie many repeated problems.

She invites clients to take the lead in sessions and talks through the patterns that cause repeated conflict. Conversations are direct and practical. She will gently point out behaviors that get in the way of goals and help people try different ways of responding.

Her work often addresses anger that shows up as sudden outbursts, long-held resentment, or ongoing tension with people close to you. She also supports people managing addiction and the life disruptions that can follow. Sessions look at what triggers strong reactions and what helps reduce their frequency and intensity.

Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She focuses on skills people can use between sessions to handle stress, regulate strong emotions, and repair relationships. The aim is to give concrete tools rather than vague advice.

She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Alexandra uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing patterns and building skills. One common approach she applies helps people notice triggers and practice alternative responses to anger and cravings. This method breaks a situation into steps so it is easier to change what comes next.

Another approach emphasizes learning practical coping skills for stress and strong emotions. Sessions include short exercises and homework that train calmer responses and clearer communication in relationships. These skills aim to reduce reactive behavior over time rather than promising instant change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can also adapt exercises so they work in a remote session, helping people practice new responses between meetings.
