Alexandra Poolt, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Alexandra

Alexandra Poolt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of professional experience. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and coaching around life changes. She uses straightforward tools to help clients understand what keeps problems going.

That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors, noticing how the body reacts to stress, or setting small, doable goals.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to focus on practical steps a person can use between meetings. Alexandra trained at Columbia University where she studied how family and environmental stressors affect the brain. Her background includes work as a social worker in both New York and Florida, and she maintains licensure in Florida as FL LCSW SW21944.

She draws on that experience when meeting people who want clearer ways to cope. In therapy she emphasizes collaboration. She helps people name the problems they're facing and then chooses tools that fit each person's situation and pace.

That might look like skills practice, guided self-reflection, or planning small behavior changes. Sessions commonly use text, phone, or video as the primary ways to connect. Alexandra prefers scheduled conversations and often begins with messaging to set a regular appointment rhythm.

This helps create predictable time to work through the issues that brought someone in.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist provides a respectful, nonjudgmental space and follows the client's lead to help clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and uses structured steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress related problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandra collaborates with clients to figure out which methods feel most helpful given their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a while and adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules. These formats make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice skills between meetings. Sessions by phone or video let people talk in real time, while messaging can support check-ins and quick problem-solving when needed.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
