About Alexandra
Alexandra Branca is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of practice in Rhode Island. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Alexandra creates a calm, collaborative space where clients can name their priorities and try practical steps. She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, doable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and geared toward real-life changes rather than abstract concepts. Her approach mixes talking through feelings with hands-on tools. She draws on techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and practice new behaviors between sessions.
This supports progress on sleep, concentration, and daily routines that often unravel when anxiety or depression increase. Alexandra also brings experience supporting people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. She helps clients cope with loss, changing roles, and medical stressors while keeping attention on what the person wants to regain or protect in their life.
People who choose her often want a therapist who is warm and practical. She works to make therapy a place to try things, adjust plans, and build steady habits. Sessions are offered in English and structured to fit the needs of adult clients seeking clearer direction and better coping skills.
Approach-driven care online and by phone
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where avoidance has taken over. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems stuck. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will talk with each client about goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the person. The early sessions are a chance to adjust the mix of approaches based on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a check-in fits a work break. Live chat and messaging let clients send short updates, handle quick check-ins, or maintain momentum between longer sessions. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to use alongside daily life.
