Alexandra aims to support personal growth through collaborative planning and skill building, addressing issues such as loneliness, life purpose, shame and guilt, and post-traumatic stress as they arise in the therapeutic process.

Remote care with trauma-informed and strengths-based methods

Alexandra uses trauma informed care to create a framework that attends to past experiences and their present-day impact. In online sessions she focuses on recognizing triggers, discussing coping strategies, and pacing exploration so clients can set the tempo of work together. This orientation supports people managing post-traumatic stress, mood concerns, and reactions to life changes.

Motivational interviewing is offered as a collaborative way to explore ambivalence about change. Through open questions and reflective listening, the therapist helps clients clarify values and consider concrete next steps for issues like substance use, impulsivity, or health-related goals. A strengths based perspective highlights existing capacities and resources, encouraging skill development and self-efficacy rather than centering only on problems.

Remote sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the communication mode that fits their needs. Alexandra frames remote work as a partnership in which goals and the pace of change are decided together.
