Alexandra Garrison, LMHC

Alexandra Garrison is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She works with adults facing addiction and related challenges, offering a steady presence for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She invites clients to lead their own process and keeps sessions warm and approachable. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person sitting across from her, with gentle challenge of patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Across 11 years in practice, Alexandra has supported adults with addiction, co-occurring diagnoses, trauma, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and control issues. She frames therapy as a process of self-discovery rather than a one-size-fits-all fix.

Her style emphasizes practical talk and realistic next steps. Sessions aim to identify small changes that reduce stress and improve coping during life transitions.

Clients can expect an inclusive, nonjudgmental setting where goals are set together. Alexandra focuses on helping people find clearer choices and build skills to manage cravings, regulate emotion, and repair relationship patterns.

She encourages anyone considering help to try a first session and see how the fit feels. The initial meeting often clarifies priorities and a plan for moving forward together.

Approaches that guide online work

Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns that lead to addictive behavior and developing practical coping skills to reduce urges and prevent relapse. This work often includes tracking triggers and building step-by-step plans for managing difficult moments.

Another useful approach centers on emotion regulation and anger management. It teaches simple strategies to notice rising emotion, pause, and choose a different response, which can help stabilize relationships and day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra works with each client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adjusts strategies over time based on what helps someone make steady progress.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a busy week and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter focused sessions when a quick review or skill check is needed, helping therapy remain practical and doable alongside everyday responsibilities.
