About Alexandra
Alexandra Pajak is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people through hard moments. She uses clear, direct guidance and practical strategies to address stress and anxiety. Her style is supportive but straightforward, focusing on skills people can use between sessions.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and manage intense emotions. She also incorporates Jungian ideas and mindfulness practices when they fit a person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on real problems and steps to make daily life easier. Alexandra has worked with people facing depression, grief, trauma and substance use concerns. She also supports those navigating relationship strain, intimacy issues, parenting stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and attention-related challenges.
Her background includes work with personality-related concerns and dissociation as well. Clients can expect a mix of skill teaching, practical problem solving, and reflection about deeper patterns. Alexandra aims to make therapy feel useful from the first weeks.
She explains tools plainly and helps people try them in small, manageable ways. She holds graduate degrees from the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech and carries licensure as an LCSW in multiple states. Her practice is offered from Georgia and conducted in English.
The focus is on helping each person find clearer footing and steadier coping for everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches online and what they do
Alexandra often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, and habits that interfere with daily life.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to communicate. DBT techniques are useful when strong feelings make it hard to act on long-term goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying skill-based work first, then adding deeper exploration as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions or shorter live chat check-ins are useful when time is tight or bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging can support ongoing practice between sessions and quick check-ins on homework or coping steps.
Using a mix of these formats makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while applying CBT and DBT skills in real time.
