Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, panic, and life transitions. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. Skills might include breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing different responses in real situations.She also draws on techniques for panic and anxiety that teach breathing and grounding methods alongside gradual exposure to feared situations. These strategies aim to reduce the intensity of panic and increase confidence when facing social or work-related triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandra will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and practical needs. She reviews how a technique is going and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.

Phone or video may be useful for brief check-ins, while longer video sessions can support skills practice and conversation.
