About Alexandra
Alexandra Valencia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and grief. She also supports those coping with parenting strain, sleep problems, intimacy issues, substance concerns, and major life changes.
Alexandra uses practical, structured approaches in sessions. She pays attention to thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that keep problems going. Conversations focus on concrete steps people can test between meetings and on skills that help with daily challenges.
Her background includes clinical work with maternal and infant mental health, substance use concerns, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related issues. Over nine years she has worked in settings that required planning interventions and guiding other clinicians.
In sessions she draws on methods that encourage acceptance of difficult feelings, clearer communication, and learning new ways to manage stress. She combines goal-focused work with longer-term attention to attachment and relationships. Sessions are straightforward and oriented toward observable changes in thinking and behavior.
Alexandra offers services in English and Spanish to people based in Florida. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the listed steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alexandra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress and anxiety, then helps clients practice different responses and coping skills in real life. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings without overreacting and to clarify personal values that guide action. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns show up now and on building clearer communication in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra treats method choice as a collaborative decision. She discusses goals, tests techniques, and adjusts what she offers based on a client's needs and preferences so the plan fits how they live.
Session formats are not listed explicitly in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a short touchpoint is helpful. Different approaches lend themselves to different exercises - for example CBT often uses between-session practice, while ACT can involve in-session values work - and Alexandra will help pick methods and pacing that suit a client's schedule and goals.
