About Alexandra
Alexandra Thomson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in New York with five years of experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, and career strain. She also supports those facing codependency patterns, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and life transitions.
She works with women on social anxiety, panic attacks, workplace issues, and family problems. Sessions focus on concrete concerns such as managing panic, setting boundaries, and rediscovering personal goals. Conversations are direct and practical so people leave with clearer next steps.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and everyday problems. That means she draws on methods shown to help with anxiety, panic, and repetitive relationship patterns. Alexandra explains options and helps people choose what fits their situation.
In a typical session she listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and then tests small changes to see what helps. That might include practicing ways to speak up, changing unhelpful thought patterns, or planning steps to manage stress. Work between sessions is often part of the process.
Sessions are held from her New York practice. People who want to try therapy are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Alexandra uses evidence-based methods online
Alexandra bases her work on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help with anxiety and relationship patterns. One common approach focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and panic; this involves learning to spot automatic thoughts and testing alternatives. Another helpful method centers on behavioral practice - trying small, concrete actions such as setting a boundary or practicing a brief exposure to a stressful situation to build confidence.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Alexandra reviews what is causing the most difficulty and explains options. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques to try and adjust them based on progress and preference.
Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care during life changes without needing to be in the same place as their therapist.
