About Alexandria

Alexandria Libby is a licensed clinical social worker who brings six years of professional experience to her practice. She offers straightforward, early-morning scheduling during the week and focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. Alexandria creates a calm space where clients can name their concerns and start practical work toward change.

She commonly helps people facing panic and anxiety, trauma and abuse, family conflict, and difficulties with focus and attention such as ADHD. Alexandria emphasizes clear conversation and steady support rather than jargon. Sessions are aimed at helping clients make small, manageable shifts in daily life.

Her approach centers on building trust and safety so people feel heard. She encourages clients to set realistic goals and practices skills that can be used between sessions. This includes planning small behavior changes and learning ways to respond when panic or intense stress arises.

Alexandria works from Missouri and holds an LCSW credential. She is licensed in both Missouri and Illinois. She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients.

Finding time for therapy can be hard, so she maintains a consistent early-morning schedule Monday through Friday. In June she switches to a summer schedule that includes some later morning options. Prospective clients select Start Therapy, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to available times.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Alexandria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change and symptom management. One common approach focuses on skill building for anxiety and panic - learning breathing and grounding exercises, testing anxious predictions, and practicing paced exposure to reduce avoidance. This helps people gain tools they can use when panic starts.

Another approach targets trauma-related distress by helping people tell their story at a pace that feels manageable. The emphasis is on safety, creating routines that reduce overwhelm, and developing strategies to cope when memories or triggers arise. These techniques are useful for people recovering from abuse or other traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to figure out what methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on how it feels and what makes progress.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow check-ins without long commutes, and support continuity when daytime obligations make evening appointments difficult. Discuss scheduling needs during the matching process to find times that work with your routine.
