About Alexander

Alexander Regalado is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of professional experience. He is also credentialed as a CSW. He practices in New York and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression, along with related challenges like intimacy issues, sleeping problems, and career uncertainty.

He works in a straightforward, conversational way. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing to the individual. He listens for patterns that keep someone stuck, then tests small, practical changes to daily habits and thinking.

Alexander uses several common approaches to help people move forward. He draws on client-centered methods to prioritize each person’s concerns. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

People often come to him when a life change leaves them unsure what comes next. He also supports those coping with addiction, grief over relationship loss, or the long-term effects of trauma. Sessions aim to clarify immediate goals and create simple steps toward them.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The payment model varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are held in English and international clients are not accepted at this time.

How Alexander integrates approaches and online work

Alexander often combines client-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address practical problems and immediate stressors. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to the person’s concerns and prioritizing what matters most in their life. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to identify patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood and then tries small behavior changes to shift those patterns.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation or intense distress are central. DBT teaches concrete tools for tolerating strong feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with relationship strain, impulsive behavior, or addiction-related urges.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes testing strategies and adjusting plans based on what helps in everyday life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel for appointments. A short questionnaire and scheduling step starts the process so the therapist and client can agree on an approach and practical session arrangements.
