About Alexandra

Alexandra Valencia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship challenges. She works with concerns like grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem. Alexandra also supports people navigating parenting, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and intimacy-related struggles. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.

With nine years of clinical experience, Alexandra draws on a mix of practical therapies to meet each person where they are. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills. She favors approaches that address thoughts, emotions, and close relationship patterns so problems feel more manageable day to day.

In the therapy room she aims for a direct and compassionate style. She listens, helps clients name patterns, and then builds small behavior and thinking changes that add up. Clients can expect short-term skills for coping and longer work on deeper attachment or trauma-related concerns.

Her background includes work in maternal and infant mental health, substance use, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related care. Alexandra has supervised other clinicians and led trainings, and she uses that experience to inform her clinical decisions.

People who want to start are invited to describe what brought them in and set concrete first-step goals. She focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes, and on practical tools that fit into busy lives.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful inner stories and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connections, which can help with intimacy, communication problems, and post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra works with each person to identify which methods feel most useful for their goals. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what is not.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as scheduling shorter check-ins around work or joining sessions when travel would otherwise make in-person visits difficult. It also allows continuity of care when someone moves within the same state. Licensed professionals can use a mix of skill teaching, emotion regulation practice, and relationship-focused conversations in remote sessions, and Alexandra tailors this mix to each person’s needs.
