About Alexandra
Alexandra Cabrera Gerena is a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with six years of professional experience. She works with people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Alexandra focuses on clear, practical conversations and helps clients take small steps toward change.
She approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations and plans are tailored to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all script. She emphasizes concrete skills you can use between sessions to manage emotions and handle daily challenges.
Background and approach
Alexandra uses a mix of approaches that include acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive tools, and mindfulness practice. These tools are shaped to address mood, worry, sleep problems, anger, and relationship concerns. Sessions also support people navigating grief, major life changes, career questions, and caregiving stress.
She is bilingual in English and Spanish, so clients can choose the language they prefer. Alexandra also brings attention to cultural and multicultural concerns that can affect how people cope and heal. Her work includes support around attachment, blended family issues, and intimacy-related challenges.
Therapy with her often focuses on identifying doable actions and building long-term habits. She encourages honest conversation, practical problem solving, and steady goal setting to help people regain control and move toward a more satisfying life.
Therapeutic approaches that adapt to online care
Alexandra commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to shift mood and daily functioning, which fits concerns like worry, depression, and sleep trouble.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then adapt methods to suit each person. She tailors exercises and homework to fit someone’s routine and comfort with different formats.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when bandwidth and schedule allow. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in when camera use is not convenient. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, written reflection, or step-by-step coaching between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy days and different lifestyles.
