About Alexandra
Alexandra Keegan is an AASW credentialed counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, stress and low mood. She offers calm, practical support for grief, self-esteem and motivation. Her way of working is down-to-earth and focused on what people need right now.
Alexandra has three years of clinical experience. She creates a relaxed space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgment. Conversations are practical and paced to suit the person sitting opposite her.
Background and approach
Her work often draws on mindfulness and cognitive approaches to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small changes. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people live around difficult feelings instead of getting stuck by them. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
Alexandra will help set small, achievable steps and review progress together. She aims to build skills that people can use between sessions, such as breathing techniques and simple behavioural experiments. People often come to her for panic symptoms, social anxiety, loneliness or struggles after loss.
Alexandra also supports those dealing with fertility stress, communication problems, guilt and young adult transitions. She works in English and practises in Australia.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on learning to live alongside difficult feelings instead of trying to eliminate them. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when the anxiety or grief is still present.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits that reduce anxiety and low mood over time.
Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Alexandra will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. She checks in regularly and adapts methods based on what is helpful for the person.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows a near face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text options are useful for short check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life.
