More about Alexandra

- LCSW
Hello and welcome to therapy!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of professional work experience. I have certifications in both New York and Florida states, and can treat individuals from either geographical area. That being said, being a social worker has afforded me to work with a variety of people on a wide range of issues. I am also educated with a Master's Degree at Columbia University and have studied the impact of family and environmental stressors on the brain.
I can work with those who are trying to understand and learn more about why they are experiencing stress, anxiety, or depressive symptoms. The places where we reside, the people whom we interact with whether loved ones at home, or in with workplace, and how we feel about ourselves internally can all play a role in our emotional health. I can attest to witnessing individuals gaining access to hope and moving toward changes in their lives through the therapeutic process once they have gained a sense of control through the use of specific tools or even through having an objective person to process their feelings.
Depending on your needs, we can work to understand your thoughts and the impact on behaviors you wish to address, we can learn about your somatic experience (body/mind connection), and we work together to explore setting achievable goals.
While I have treated those with chronic or severe emotional health-related issues, my work at Better Help best serves those who are coping with recent stressors as I am only available 2 days of the week, Tuesdays and Thursdays for client sessions. I prefer working with clients who will be able to do scheduled text, phone, or video sessions as this is the best way for me to connect during the work week. I am available initially for texting with the idea of setting a schedule for treatment as therapy works best with structured time where we can delve into matters. I will try my best to respond to texts in between the sessions within 24-48 hours as your questions or concerns are important to me.
If you think we may be a good fit, reach out and we can set some time aside to talk. I look forward to meeting you as you explore the therapeutic journey.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
