About Alexandra

Alexandra Brink is a licensed professional counselor who brings hope and practical help to people who are overwhelmed. She emphasizes a warm, person-centered style and works with adults on anxiety, stress, and related life concerns. Alexandra writes simply: reaching out is a big step and she aims to make the next steps clear and manageable.

She earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Therapy and received her License in Professional Counseling (LPC) in 2014. Early in her career she worked with children who had mood, behavior, or developmental differences, and later shifted to focus on adults with anxiety and other concerns. That varied background shapes how she balances behavioral strategies with relationship-focused care.

In sessions Alexandra blends person-centered listening with solution-focused techniques. She often uses cognitive-behavioral ideas and mindfulness to help people recognize unhelpful patterns and build practical skills. Motivational interviewing is used when people need help clarifying goals and finding their own reasons to change.

Alexandra describes her approach as holistic - she considers body, mind, and spiritual concerns when they matter to the person in front of her. She emphasizes a strong therapeutic connection as the foundation for progress and adjusts methods to fit each person’s life.

Outside of work she is a parent and manages chronic illness, so she is familiar with grief, major life changes, and caregiving stress. That lived experience informs a compassionate, realistic style. She encourages people to take the first step and is prepared to walk alongside them through change.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship, which helps people feel heard and understood during sessions. It’s useful for exploring feelings about parenting, relationships, and life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches concrete coping skills. CBT techniques can help reduce panic symptoms, manage anxiety, and change patterns that maintain stress.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness, which many people find helpful for anxiety and panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining approaches over time and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and offer flexibility for caregivers or those managing chronic illness. Sessions can be used to practice skills between meetings and to keep momentum while addressing panic, anxiety, or relationship concerns.
