About Alexandra
Alexandra Stanton is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making small, useful changes that add up over time.
Alexandra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns that maintain distress. She works with clients to reduce social anxiety and isolation, and to rebuild self-worth after hard experiences.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practicing new ways to communicate and handle difficult feelings like guilt or shame. She helps people clarify their life purpose and reconnect with what matters to them. That can mean setting boundaries, relearning self-care, or making choices that reflect personal values.
Alexandra frames these efforts as gradual and collaborative rather than quick fixes. Her style is warm and direct. She offers tools for managing intense moments and skills to prevent setbacks.
Over time clients practice handling stress with more confidence and fewer overwhelming episodes. Alexandra’s New York practice emphasizes realistic steps that fit into busy lives. She supports people who want to strengthen relationships with others, and to feel more comfortable in social situations.
Progress is measured by what improves in daily life, such as clearer communication, more ease around others, and stronger self-respect.
Approaches that fit your life, delivered online
Alexandra uses well-tested, evidence-based techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One common approach involves learning practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress in daily situations; this teaches specific steps to calm intense feelings and change unhelpful habits. Another common focus is on improving social confidence and communication - practicing new ways to speak up, set boundaries, and connect with others helps reduce isolation and social anxiety.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the person's life and needs.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges when a full session is not possible. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on skills consistently.
