About Marina
Marina Alexander is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 16 years of clinical experience. She welcomes people who feel stuck and want clearer choices for everyday life. Her work begins with listening so clients can decide what feels right for them and take the next step.
Marina focuses on practical change. She helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and the strain of life transitions. She also supports clients facing relationship concerns, addictive behaviors, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, sleep and eating issues, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she offers straightforward tools that can be used right away. Clients can expect help with decision making, skills for coping, and guidance for handling conflicts. The goal is to move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more empowered and able to act.
Marina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and approaches such as cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally focused work, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. She also has experience with parenting supports, including the Triple P Positive Parenting Program, and has worked with parents managing disruptive behaviors.
Her own life transitions and time living in other countries inform a culturally aware perspective. Marina aims to meet each person where they are and to collaborate on a plan that fits their needs and values.
