About Alexandra

Alexandra Faust is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with four years of clinical experience. She meets people where they are and helps them work through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also supports people who are dealing with family conflicts and struggles with communication or feeling isolated.

Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions aim to be open and nonjudgmental so clients can speak freely.

Background and approach

She often brings everyday tools into sessions, like music, books, social media references, or apps when those fit a client's needs. Alexandra uses several evidence-based methods in her work. She draws from cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.

She also incorporates dialectical-behavioral skills and motivational interviewing to build coping skills and strengthen motivation for change. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals. She focuses on short-term steps as well as longer-term growth, and she partners with clients to set practical, achievable goals.

Techniques and activities are chosen to match individual needs and preferences. For parents worried about a child or teen, or adults trying to navigate family tension, Alexandra aims to make the process straightforward. She invites questions, helps clarify next steps, and supports clients as they work toward clearer communication and better daily functioning.

Online approaches that fit family and life stress

Alexandra often uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. That approach focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also applies dialectical-behavioral techniques to teach skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can be helpful when family conflict or strong emotions make day-to-day life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and then suggest methods that match those priorities. The plan can shift as progress is made and new needs appear, and she collaborates with clients to refine the focus over time.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules. These options let people connect from home or while juggling family responsibilities. The variety of formats makes it easier to keep momentum between sessions and try tools that fit your daily life.
