About Alexandra
Alexandra Poolt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, depression, and coaching needs. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from Florida.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts influence feelings and actions. She also uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the person. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are used when helpful to support goal-setting and to manage physical tension tied to stress.
Her work includes helping people facing caregiver strain, chronic pain or illness, and social anxiety or phobia. Alexandra focuses on practical skills - noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and setting small, achievable goals. She explains why stress and mood symptoms can arise from family, work, and daily pressures.
Her approach often includes tracking thoughts and behaviors between sessions and trying brief experiments to see what changes. She values clear steps - plan, try, review - to build a sense of control. For people coping with ongoing medical issues, she includes attention to the body-mind connection and pacing strategies.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Alexandra does not accept international clients and holds her practice in Florida.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Alexandra will review your goals and preferences and suggest CBT, client-centered strategies, or mindfulness as fits your needs. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
