About Alexandra

Alexandra Degirolamo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, low self-esteem, and life changes. Services also address trauma, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, and ADHD. Alexandra communicates in English and accepts international clients.

In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. She listens for what feels most pressing and helps people sort priorities. That might mean working on boundaries around relationships, addressing codependency patterns, or building strategies to manage mood and anxiety.

Her background includes helping people cope with substance use issues, family conflict, and the day-to-day effects of depression or bipolar symptoms. Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts sessions to what someone actually needs and can use. She keeps explanations simple and gives concrete next steps between meetings.

People who consult her can expect direct discussion about patterns that get in the way of well-being. Sessions may include skills practice, problem-solving, and checking what is working over time. Alexandra also helps with parenting stress, anger, career concerns, and recovery-related challenges.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. The therapist asks clients to confirm current session options before booking to ensure the format fits their circumstances.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Evidence-based approaches mean using methods shown to help people make practical changes. One common method focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and mood challenges, such as breathing techniques, activity planning, and breaking larger problems into manageable steps. This approach helps with everyday stress, panic, and low mood.

Another useful approach targets patterns in relationships and behavior. It looks at how people respond to others, including people-pleasing and codependency, and teaches concrete ways to set boundaries and communicate more directly. That work often helps when someone keeps putting others first and wants clearer limits.

Finding the right mix of approaches happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try specific strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to keep using.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make therapy fit into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during breaks, and offering options that match energy and focus levels. Ask about session lengths and scheduling when you sign up so the format fits your routine.
