About Alexandra
Alexandra Valencia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She works with clients facing relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, addiction concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Alexandra draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also brings acceptance and commitment ideas that help people clarify values and take small workable steps toward them. Attachment-based methods are part of how she looks at relationship patterns and closeness. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when people need help with emotional regulation and managing intense feelings.
Alexandra keeps the work focused on simple, concrete steps so clients can apply new strategies between sessions. Her background includes nine years working with people affected by maternal and infant mental health concerns, substance use, trauma, and mood disorders. That range gives her experience with parenting stress, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and recovery-focused care.
She aims to support clients as they set goals and try out changes that fit their daily lives. Alexandra describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for what matters most to each person, offers practical skills, and adjusts the approach as goals evolve.
The overall focus is on helping people feel more steady and able to cope with life changes.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and take small steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. This might mean starting with CBT skills for immediate relief and introducing ACT or attachment ideas over time, depending on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for in-depth sessions, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain momentum between sessions, and choose the format that works best for a given week or concern.
