Therapeutic approaches and online options

Alexandra commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and then testing small changes to see what helps reduce distress. DBT adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for mood instability or strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. Together you decide which tools to try and how to measure progress.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use different approaches like CBT and DBT effectively in remote sessions, adapting exercises and skills practice to the online setting.
