More about Alexandra

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My approach centers on compassionate, holistic care that addresses mental health across diverse experiences. I have extensive expertise in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem challenges.

My therapeutic work focuses on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understanding and resilience. I'm particularly passionate about supporting young adults, women, caregivers, and those experiencing life transitions. My practice creates a nurturing space where clients can explore personal growth, heal from past experiences, and develop meaningful coping strategies.

I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients address a wide range of concerns, including communication difficulties, isolation, life purpose exploration, workplace stress, and family dynamics. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering supportive guidance as you move toward greater emotional wellness and personal empowerment.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
