How Alexandra uses therapy methods online
Alexandra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide her work. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and self esteem concerns. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be helpful for strong mood swings, intense emotions, and interpersonal difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which tools to try first. Together they adjust the plan based on what helps in real life.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to use skills between meetings. Some people find phone sessions require less bandwidth and work better for a quick check-in, while other formats can be better for skill practice that uses visual materials. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. The emphasis is on finding a practical way to make therapy part of everyday life.
