About Alexandra
Alexandra Conrad is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Alexandra also lists life purpose among her focus areas.
She trained in social work after completing a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work. Her background includes work in outpatient clinics, schools, community settings, crisis care, and state hospital levels of care. That variety informs how she notices patterns and practical barriers people face.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and skills. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for tools to manage feelings and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy also appear in her work to support decision making and to reframe difficult experiences.
Her style favors direct collaboration and hands-on practice. Clients can expect to talk through specific situations, learn concrete coping skills, and try small changes between meetings. She notes that sessions can surface strong emotions while also building confidence and practical problem solving.
Alexandra highlights concerns such as attachment and communication problems, control issues, substance misuse, domestic violence, isolation, guilt and shame, midlife concerns, panic, post-traumatic stress, and family stress. She aims to help adults clarify what matters and move toward workable next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions use that same stance to help people clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change thought patterns and behaviors; it suits problems like anxiety, depression, and panic by breaking issues into manageable parts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be helpful for intense emotions and communication problems.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Alexandra treats this as a collaborative process. She will discuss options, try specific techniques, and adjust based on what is working and what feels useful to the client.

Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making it easier to attend from different locations. Online work lets the therapist assign practical between-session exercises, review progress, and focus on skills practice in ways that suit everyday schedules.
