About Alexandra
Alexandra Rubenis is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia who offers calm, practical support for people facing stress and anxiety. She brings three years of professional experience and focuses on helping people find clearer thinking and steadier days. Alexandra aims to listen well and work at a pace that feels manageable for each person.
She frames difficulties such as trauma, relationship strain, anger and depression as challenges to be worked through together.
Background and approach
Sessions centre on understanding the immediate problem and building small, useful skills to cope. Conversations are collaborative and down-to-earth rather than full of jargon. Alexandra also supports people with concerns linked to attachment, abandonment, body image and loneliness.
She has experience with multicultural issues and intellectual disability and is willing to adapt conversations to suit different needs and backgrounds. The work may cover how past hurts affect current reactions, and ways to reconnect with purpose and meaning. Her style is empathetic and practical.
She combines listening with clear ideas for next steps, and she encourages experimenting with new ways of managing feelings between sessions. People who prefer a steady, respectful approach often feel most comfortable working with her. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Alexandra works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect a person to the right schedule and format.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Many counsellors use evidence-based techniques to guide practical work. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and behavioural strategies to manage anxiety and mood problems; it involves learning small, repeatable practices to reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Another useful method examines attachment and past relationship patterns to understand how they affect current relationships and emotional responses; this helps people recognise repeating patterns and try different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust pace and emphasis as you learn what helps most, reviewing progress and changing direction when needed.
Online therapy offers practical advantages for busy people. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections and flexibility across the day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and caregiving commitments while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
