About Alexandra
Alexandra Lopez de Haro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Hawaii with 13 years of experience. She works with people coping with trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.
Alexandra focuses on helping clients reduce impulsive reactions and manage long‑standing resentment. She helps people name what fuels their anger and builds concrete skills for calmer responses. She also supports those rebuilding self-worth after trauma and those navigating grief, loss, or major transitions.
Her work tends to be practical and skills-focused. Alexandra uses evidence-based techniques to teach breathing and grounding exercises, emotion regulation strategies, and clearer communication habits. She helps people practice these skills in session and plan how to use them in everyday moments that typically spark anger.
She pays attention to how early attachment and abandonment experiences shape current relationships. That can mean looking at patterns of control, codependency, or isolation and developing new ways to relate. Alexandra also addresses related concerns such as body image, guilt and shame, and multicultural or immigration stressors.
Clients can expect sessions that balance short-term coping tools with deeper work on long-term patterns. The first meetings often focus on immediate strategies for managing strong emotions and then move toward understanding the experiences that keep those reactions repeating. The practice offers straightforward steps people can use between sessions.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Alexandra uses several evidence-based techniques that help with strong emotions and trauma. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thinking and practicing new behavioral responses; that helps reduce automatic reactions and build problem-solving habits. Mindfulness skills teach simple attention and breathing practices to lower physiological arousal and create space before responding. EMDR-informed methods can be used to process distressing memories and reduce their intensity so they are less likely to trigger explosive feelings.Finding the right mix of techniques is an ongoing, shared process. Alexandra works together with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals, history, and comfort level. Early sessions often emphasize immediate coping tools, then add deeper processing as people feel ready.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping regular contact without long commutes. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to maintain momentum with skill practice between meetings and to schedule brief check-ins when stress spikes.
