About Alexandria

Alexandria Harville is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She has nine years of experience and has worked with a wide range of concerns, including addictions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and issues around identity and relationships. She takes a straightforward, down-to-earth approach and respects where each person starts.

Her work is rooted in client-centered principles. She begins by listening to how a person sees themselves and their situation.

Background and approach

From there she chooses practical methods that fit each person - not a one-size-fits-all plan. Alexandria has experience with people who face substance use and behavioral addictions, mood concerns like bipolar and depression, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She has also supported those dealing with grief, life transitions, and communication or family of origin problems.

She spent time living and working in Europe and Southeast Asia, which broadened her experience with diverse populations and life perspectives. That background informs how she meets people where they are and adapts her work to different needs.

In sessions she mixes techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness work, and motivational interviewing when they serve the goals at hand. Her aim is to help people build skills, clarify values, and take manageable steps toward the life they want.

Approaches that guide online work and how they help

Alexandria draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and learn practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles where behaviors and thinking affect mood.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them, even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can help with coping during life changes, managing chronic worry, and building a life that matters to the client.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She begins by listening to your goals and preferences, then recommends methods that match those aims. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which strategies to try and adjust them over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and people living far from office-based care. Sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. This range of formats makes it easier to use the tools learned in therapy in real life and to keep progress moving forward.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
