About Alexandra

Alexandra Degirolamo is a licensed professional counselor who practices in New Jersey. She brings nine years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, addictions, and family concerns. Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and practical support.

She works to tailor each plan to the person in front of her. Her sessions focus on clear goals and workable steps. She helps people address self-esteem, confidence, relationship issues, and parenting concerns.

Background and approach

She also supports those facing grief, trauma, mood swings, and problems with eating or substance use. Practical coping skills and steady encouragement are common elements of her work. Alexandra adapts her style to each client's needs.

She aims to create a space where people can talk through control issues, communication problems, codependency, and impulsivity without feeling judged. She also pays attention to issues like body image, forgiveness, and fatherhood concerns when they come up. Over the years she has helped people navigate career stress, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.

Her experience includes supporting clients with ADHD, bipolar concerns, and anger management. Sessions emphasize problem-solving, skill building, and gradual progress. She accepts English-speaking clients and is available to work with people inside and outside the United States.

The initial step is a short questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment that fits each person’s situation.

How practical therapy approaches work online

Many of her sessions use straightforward, evidence-based techniques that teach skills and change patterns. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood shifts, and improve daily functioning. Brief focused skill work helps with parenting challenges, stress management, and impulsivity by teaching tools clients can use right away.

She also uses person-centered, supportive approaches that emphasize respectful listening and collaborative planning. This helps people feel understood and involved in setting goals, whether they are addressing addiction, family conflict, or self-esteem. Together the therapist and client decide which techniques fit the person’s goals and comfort level.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives flexibility for busy family schedules and people in different locations. These formats make it easier to fit consistent sessions into daily life, practice skills between meetings, and keep momentum during life transitions. Licensed professionals guide the process and adapt methods so online care feels practical and focused.
