About Alexandria

Alexandria Lara is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and issues around self-esteem and career pressure.

She adapts counseling methods to fit each person's situation. Sessions draw on client-centered work to follow what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports clearer emotional expression in relationships.

Alexandria has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She has provided in-person and telehealth services, and currently facilitates group counseling. Her group work has focused on acculturation, adjustment, behavior change, goal-setting, self-esteem, self-harm, and trauma themes.

In meetings she listens for patterns like codependency, attachment concerns, difficulty saying no, and problems with control or avoidance. Then she helps people practice specific skills to set boundaries, improve communication, and manage intense emotions.

Her approach mixes practical tools with conversational support. She uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice what matters and find motivation for change. Sessions are collaborative and focused on small steps that fit everyday life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Alexandria often combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows what the client says is most important. CBT focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to see what helps. EFT helps people name and share emotions more clearly, which can ease relationship strain and improve communication.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Alexandria will talk with the client about goals, try methods in session, and adjust what they do together based on what helps. The first few meetings are used to find a good match between the client's needs and the therapeutic tools available.

The practical benefits of online sessions are about fitting therapy into daily life. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, which helps people keep regular appointments. If you need details about session formats and any technical arrangements, confirm current options before booking so you know how a session will be conducted.
