About Alexandra
Dr. Alexandra Branagan is a Colorado-licensed psychologist with 12 years of clinical experience. She holds the CO Psychologist license PSY.0005152 and sees people at different stages of life.
Her work includes common concerns like sleep problems, anxiety, depression, and stress, as well as topic areas such as parenting, fertility and perinatal transitions, intimacy and sexual concerns, ADHD and neurodevelopmental issues, and caregiving stress. She takes a warm, direct approach in sessions.
Background and approach
The room is calm and nonjudgmental so people can say what’s on their mind. She listens for practical barriers and everyday patterns, then helps clients try manageable changes that fit their life. Dr.
Branagan draws on evidence-based techniques tailored to each person’s goals. She collaborates on a plan and checks in about progress along the way. Sessions can focus on skills for sleep, strategies for coping with life changes, communication habits, or planning next steps for career or family transitions.
Her background combines clinical health psychology training with years supporting people facing medical issues and major life events. That experience informs clear, grounded guidance when health, caregiving, or chronic conditions affect daily life. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Dr. Branagan uses evidence-based methods tailored to practical change. One common approach focuses on sleep and behavioral routines to improve rest; it looks at bedtime habits, daytime activities, and small habit shifts that support better sleep. Another approach addresses anxiety and stress with step-by-step coping skills and problem-solving so overwhelming feelings become more manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts techniques as progress and needs change. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to try and when to move in a new direction.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions around family, work, or medical obligations and allow follow-up or brief check-ins between visits. The variety of formats helps match the style of support to what feels most useful for daily life.
